Introduction

This is a compilation of my dot files.

Commands:

ln -nfs ~/Developer/dotfiles/xmodmap/.xmodmap ~/.xmodmap #symlinks

Key Mappings

Compiling custom key mappings to use across OS and tools.

# Prefer CapsLock to be Escape which is more used than Ctrl and far easier than Ctrl+[
CapsLock : Esc 

# To keep usage consistent on different OS, rely on custom shortcuts instead of Ctrl/Cmd
# Note: This does however limit usage of ctrl during INS mode - as of now, still worth it.
Ctrl+Keys : <leader>+customKeys 

# Custom Shortucts that are more meaningful to me than the defaults
Modifer + _ 
  H : Home
  J : PgDn
  K : PgUp
  L : End

  h : LeftArrow
  j : DownArrow
  k : UpArrow
  l : RightArrow

  <leader>d : Open directory view
  <leader>f : Search
  <leader>w : Window Managment
  <leader>j : Jumps
