FrogPad

[marcmagus]

Well, after a day of playing around with it, I have a better sense of the FrogPad. I'm writing this with one hand, which is pretty comfortably at my side while I sit in bed. The arrangement can still use some tweaking, but shows promise.

I've done some reconfiguring of a number of tools to take advantage of the new layout...

For vim, \f will toggle between frogpad and normal keymaps thanks to:

" FrogPad keybindings {{{
function s:froggy()
    if !exists("s:frogpad") || s:frogpad == 0
        echo "FrogPad mode on"
        let s:frogpad = 1
        noremap o h
        noremap e j
        noremap E J
        noremap h k
        noremap t l
        noremap l o
        noremap L O
        noremap j t
        noremap J T
        noremap k e
    else
        echo "FrogPad mode off"
        let s:frogpad = 0
        unmap o
        unmap e
        unmap E
        unmap h
        unmap t
        unmap l
        unmap L
        unmap j
        unmap J
        unmap k
    endif
endfunction
nmap \f :call froggy()
"}}}

And for mutt; not as elegant with the toggle:

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#
# muttrc extension with nice keybindings for a FrogPad
#
# source ~/.mutt/muttrc-frog
# (from muttrc or from mutt directly)

#		generic		generic keymap for all of the above
#		editor		line editor
#		pager		text viewer

keybinding modifications

I'm going to have to keep track of these extensions. I've done some poking about with vim configuration, but only in the area of syntax highlighting.

If you're interested, I could send you my .vimrc and the contents of my .vim/ directory. A lot of the former is taken from Sartak's .vimrc, which he kindly shared with me, and which has some great ideas.

The above should be readily adaptable to Dvorak as well...I was always surprised Google searches on Dvorak and vi don't yield more useful results.

this made NO sense to me, but I'm glad you're doing well ^.^
