Keyboard shortcuts visualization
Keyboard shortcuts visualization
Have you ever wondered if your keyboard shortcuts are set up optimally? Well, I did, so I decided to visualize it with a heat-map.
It proved to me that I rely on my left pinky too much, so I'll try to rework my shortcuts.
You can check out the project here, currently it only works on Linux.
what are you doing with your caps lock key?
12ReplyI have it mapped to control
4ReplySome people use caps lock instead shift for capital letters
2ReplyI see this all the time when the person first learned to type on a touchscreen keyboard.

I assume the red is the least used.
2ReplyYeah I suppose that would make more sense. Although using red to indicate least used on a heat-map seems like a poor choice

Looks like somebody relies on caps locked a little too heavily. Or as you might say, STOP FUCKING SHOUTING ALL THE TIME!
7ReplyI don’t know what this is at all, every one knows ctrl and alt is where it’s at and enter/ caps lock? Are you just trying to piss people off?
4ReplyI'm using a tiling window manager and neovim as my main editor, so I have to use hot-keys quite a lot As for the caps, I have it remapped to control

What's the Meta key? Is that like the Super key?
3ReplyI thought it meant the same, Meta/Super/Windows
I saw these used in documentation interchangeably
3ReplyMeta, Hyper, and Super were all originally different keys. See this lisp machine keyboard from in the 70s that had 7 modifiers, including all of those. Most of the time Hyper or Super are mapped to the Windows key. With Meta it varies more from program to program. A lot of desktop software maps it to the Windows key. In Emacs its usually mapped as Alt or the Esc key.
