It’s time for my yearly roundup of my favorite tools, hardware, and projects. I’m combining everything in one post this year. You might find something new, or you might just have your own preferences validated. Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments! It’s been an interesting year. I lost my job in…

I recently published a Karabiner trick that turned [kbd semicolon] plus [kbd j / i / k / l] into arrow keys. I’ve determined that my implementation could use some work. Here’s the redux. [series_list KeyBinding] The original tip used Karabiner to turn [kbd semicolon] into a [kbd Fn] key when pressed with other keys,…

I’ve been working away from my office a lot, so I’ve been using my MacBook Pro keyboard as often as my Ultimate Hacking Keyboard. I missed the Mod-J/K/I/L arrow key navigation, so I hacked a little modification in using Karabiner that fills the gap. I’ve determined that this implementation is faulty. See the update for…

I’ve been playing with some Karabiner Elements setups and thought I’d start sharing some that I find useful. I’m publishing these as part of the KeyBinding series, as I think they make sense there. [series_list KeyBinding] This first one is a way to make tab switching ([kbd cmd-[ / ]]) slightly more convenient. I say…

This collection is more than just computer hardware. It’s physical things I’ve loved this year. Anything that isn’t software. Hardware Milk Street Nakari My new favorite kitchen knife. They’re fairly affordable and I love the form factor of the Nakiri, and given I eat mostly vegetables, it’s the most useful knife in my collection. YUZU…

I got a new MacBook Pro on a Black Friday sale, and have been setting it up for the last few days. A combination of “brew bundle”, DotBot, and Mackup have made that a mostly painless process, but I still had to do a lot of tweaking. Setapp will even offer to automatically install your…

I recently purchased some Cerakey ceramic keycaps for my Ultimate Hacking Keyboard. When I mentioned the purchase on Mastodon, I got a few replies asking for a review, as multiple people had been considering the purchase. [describe]Here’s my review of the Cerakey ceramic keycaps.[/describe] Note: I have 3 cats. I tried to clean the keyboard…

Ok, this one will probably wrap up this little run of key binding tricks. It’s been fun, though, and I’d love to answer any questions I can in the forum. If you’ve ever examined my master DefaultKeyBinding.dict (or even looked at the readme), you’ll see that I make use of a lot of multi-stroke key…

Another trick for readers interested in honing their keyboard-fu on macOS. In Vim, most operations have can have a count specified in the keystrokes for the command, e.g. 3dd to delete 3 lines. You can do similar in any Cocoa text field (all Apple apps, plus most native apps). You just need to specify a…

So you may have seen my KeyBindings project before. It’s an insanely large collection of keybinding tricks that work in any macOS text field. Well, any native cocoa field. You won’t have much luck in Electron or other non-native text editors. But for most uses, including in Safari, Mail, Notes, nvUltra, and most of the…
