Apple! Go add me some keybindings. 2 comments

Posted by robon July 14, 2007

One step closer to a mouse-free lifestyle:

  1. For window movement: I'll hold down "~" and "Space" with my left hand (5th finger and thumb), while my right hand moves the currently selected window around with the Vi style movement keys: "h", "j", "k", and "l".
  2. To resize a window: I'll Hold down "~" + "3" + "Space" (5th and 3rd fingers, and thumb), where Vi movement keys now control the position of the bottom right corner of the window relative to the upper left corner--which remains stationary--resizing the window. (Most X users don't need such a detailed explanation. Instead, read: "Enlightenment style window resizing.")

I don't want to induce too much panic, but if I don't see these ideas added by Leopard, I'm going to drive down there and have a serious talk with someone–yeah, maybe you Steve–and it could get ugly.
