Looking foreward to the homerow video! Would especially love if you could go into detail on how to ensure that homerow mods do not interfer with your speed of operating the keyboard
Great job! I've been mouseless for 5 years and keyboardless for the past 2. I use the moonlander as well and use the mouse mode. I don't consider this a cheat, it's ergonomic and since it is not super comfy it forces your brain to use keyboard when possible. The real game changer is stenography! You can easily try steno with the moonlander and toggle between normal key layers. Steno with Plover is the key to true computer power! Expanso looks cool but that is nothing compared to steno where you can literally write any text easily. I've been using steno for all computer use, neovim and moving between windows with awesomeWM for Linux and workspacer for Windows. Keep up the great work!
Steno is a true super power! Its not for everyone and come with a massive learning curve. Great YT videos by Aerick and Paul Fioravanti. Feel free to reference my moonlander config named Mouseless Boss. You can easily find it by searching for the stenography tag. My top reasons for using steno: Perfect spelling. Dumb typos with common words like 'teh' for writing 'the' are impossible. Extreme ergonomics! Arms do most of the work and not wrists and fingers. Lastly extreme extensibility like neovim. You can do anything with Plover. For example I've great a steno chord to call an api and print its result as if you were typing it. Definitely check it out!
I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Nothing works with my 49 screen. I’m running a set of macros with layer2 on my keyboard paired with window management hotkeys from raycast. Otherwise things get out of control. I really tried months with Yabai and ditched it eventually. Still waiting for something that works well will ultrawide setups
Love this video. The ceiling for efficiency is so much higher with keyboard interactions. I'm curious how close to 100% mouseless you see yourself staying going forward?
If I’m honest, not really. Definitely learned a TON from keeping it away for a while. But for work, you need to go through a day without breaking the screen with frustration so the mouse is there when I need it 😂 I thought myself to go anywhere I need with the tooling here and sometimes it comes in handy! Anyway when I’m in tmux and Neovim it’s 100% mouseless 😎
Exactly. I’m only resorting to the mouse for drag and drop to slack / discord / browser etc. locally stuff are all cp / mv. Even browsing with tools like yazi are so much better than any other GUI
Alfred doesn't do everything Raycast does, and many of it's features are paid for, so I happily moved away. Not that I have an issue with paying for a good product but Raycast, especially with its app store does a ton more.@@Minimingus
I use things like Vimium and Shortcat, mostly because I'm usually too lazy to reach for my mouse. But video editing with a keyboard... uhh... no thanks.
@@erlangparasu6339 not for me. I rather have the multiplexer detached from my emulator. Using Wez which also has a good split functionality but tmux is always there

Definitely a challenge I’m working on.

Oh man! I love the approach to the mouse mode and your steno game is another level! Definitely going to look into it. Thanks 🙏🏽
Oh man, I tried steno and it was too much for me!
I think I watched you speak about it in a VimConf.. no?@@JoshMedeski

@@devopstoolbox yep! I took away some interesting ideas after studying steno
I was just looking at a 40% I had built a few uears ago with custom QMK firkware and had this thought about leaving the mouse. Great timing!
Shortcat is big - Been familiar with most of this, so felt pretty good - but that one is big. Thank you!
It's time to for Tiling Window Manager 🤘🏽

There is only one thing worth using the mouse for - copying files desktop-wise, and even this task I do prefer to do [s]cp, rsync, or mv
Exactly. I’m only resorting to the mouse for drag and drop to slack / discord / browser etc. locally stuff are all cp / mv.

@@devopstoolbox Never tried yazi, I tried both mc and ranger however will try yazi now.
Shortcat man, thats a gamechanger thank you 👌
Have you shared your moon lander keyboard layout?
i have the zsa voyager, and i have made a layer to control the mouse from there. My wrists have been thanking me ever since.
Great vid. Slow ramp up but amazing down the road
shortcat is an insane tool, wow. Don't suppose anyone knows of a linux alternative? I imagine it's a lot harder to implement than on mac
The raycast was my favorite, thanks for sharing ❤
Raycast does absolutely everything! Window mgmt , caffeine, calendar meetings and even GPT!
How do you feel about Raycast vs Alfred?
Alfred doesn't do everything Raycast does, and many of it's features are paid for, so I happily moved away. Not that I have an issue with paying for a good product but Raycast, especially with its app store does a ton more.@@Minimingus
awesome video! Good to see you.
any shortcat alternatives for linux? maybe for a gnome
I use things like Vimium and Shortcat, mostly because I'm usually too lazy to reach for my mouse. But video editing with a keyboard... uhh... no thanks.
Really great love it
the real game changer is to switch OS to something linux based that ment for keyboard users like: Regolith
Yep. I'm working on the interim version with Nix... let's see how it goes
i3wm and have you tmux keys for your sub systems two keys away. don't keep them next to each other
Cooool！
you need to move to i3 , like himself :)
😎
@@devopstoolbox you know all this automation you crave is 100% linux , osx is just slowing your game , always love to watch your videos.
At this point it’s wiser to just go with Sway, Wayland compatible and a drop in replacement for i3
@@Mooooov0815it’s really buggy , i need uptime of 99.9999999%
@@garciajero Yep, I’m a long time Mac user because of work, but as you can see the code if it is Linux tooling. I’m really close to going all the way…
how about replace tmux with kitty
@@erlangparasu6339 not for me. I rather have the multiplexer detached from my emulator. Using Wez which also has a good split functionality but tmux is always there
@@devopstoolbox i use wezterm also before, but input speed feel faster in Kitty
