Emacs package with basic key rebindings for evil-mode with the Colemak keyboard layout

evil-colemak-basics.el

This Emacs package provides basic key bindings for evil-mode optimized for the Colemak keyboard layout.

This packages modifies the original evil-colemak-basics.el to match vim-colemak. For bindings, see https://github.com/jooize/vim-colemak

Installation

Put the Elisp file somewhere in your loading path and load it explicitly:

(require 'evil-colemak-basics)

Usage

To enable globally, use:

M-x global-evil-colemak-basics-mode RET

To enable for just a single buffer, use:

M-x evil-colemak-basics-mod RET

To enable permanently, put this in your init.el:

(global-evil-colemak-basics-mode)

When enabled, a lighter showing hnei will appear in your mode line. If you don't like it, use rich-minority or diminish to hide it.

Note that this package assumes that your operating system is properly configured for the Colemak keyboard layout. It does not implement the Colemak layout on top of a Qwerty layout.
