I was looking for a good generalist set of keybindings for my Steam Deck’s onboard controls that bound all the letter keys and also the necessary commands to navigate web pages and manipulate files. There isn’t any obvious layout to bind all the gamepad buttons, joysticks and touchpads to letter keys and keyboard commands/command chords, and further it feels like whatever solution you came up with would be impossible to memorize anyways.

Kind of a silly endeavor perhaps, but… touchscreen keyboards take up wayyyyy too much screen real estate on the Steam Deck, and further the pop up software keyboard sometimes doesn’t behave right with software that isn’t expecting a pop up touchscreen keyboard (i.e., not like a mobile app designed to handle one).

Then I randomly thought about Qutebrowser and vim keybindings… and I had an evil idea…

I want to try using this with neovim as well, and I thought y’all might get a kick out of it lol!

edit errr, oooff I don’t know how to get lemmy not to dump the text from my linked post completely unformated into this post

      I particularly love and couldn’t live without tab-manager, it’s like onetab in Firefox or chrome, I can have unlimited sets of bookmarks, collapse everything down to one tab for each project I have going, it’s one of my favorite pieces of software which makes me very happy with myself that I’m the one that built it. Looking through a bunch of userscripts that people made, I don’t think there’s a single one out there that comprehensively transforms the way you’d use qutebrowser the way that one does. I’m pretty sure The-Compiler uses it, he told me it inspired him to change the way sessions are managed in a future release.

        That sounds awesome! Now you just need to allow those tabs to be arranged into trees, then allow plain text comments to be interspersed throughout the tree and then allow lisp expressions to be evaluated on the entire environment of the web browser and then…….

        …sorry I have an org mode problem

          You sound like you’d like Nyxt browser. Maybe check that out too, I’ve considered moving to it but I’d have to rewrite all of my userscripts in lisp instead of python and I don’t want to do that.
