Great idea sitting on the ball, I have a standing desk and change frequently from sitting on the chair to sitting on a gymnastic ball to standing (on a balance board).

You don't use a mouse ? :o

bendman profile image
Ben Duncan •

Good spotting! I don't use a mouse much. Most of my work is UI development, so I use one to test mouse interactions. Otherwise I mostly use keyboard commands thanks to vscode+vim, vimium, spectacle, alfred, dash docs, and a shortcut to the OSX menu search.

I do play some video games though, so for that I take it off the stand ;)

This is really neat !
I tried vscode+vim but I felt like I couldn't "express myself" easily with it. I guess I should train more !

It took me a while, but now I miss it - I even tried to use vim commands inside this text input!

I started out with VIM Adventures and just using HJKL to move around, but I would put a sticky note on my monitor each week with new useful commands to learn. I'm still learning!

The link is broken.

I have the same concept the Fn + 1 - 4 toggle various layers. However I have been working on remapping the caps lock as the Mode_switch modifier so that I can use that key as a Caps + key modifier. Example Caps + Ctrl/Menu/Alt are my Left/Down/Right respectively. The issue I am having is making that mapping permanent. Something keeps resetting it — Ubuntu 19.10
