Emacs like key bindings for zathura

zathurarc

set adjust-open width

map \< goto top
map \> goto bottom
map b navigate previous
map e follow
map f navigate next
map p goto top

map <C-+> zoom in
map <C--> zoom out
map <C-=> zoom in
map <C-)> adjust_window best-fit

map <C-n> scroll down
map <C-p> scroll up
map <C-v> scroll full-down

map <A-\<> goto top

This is so detailed and filled with proper examples, I made the following edits but overall everything is planned out nicely

-map [fullscreen] n   scroll down
-map [fullscreen] p   scroll up
+map [fullscreen] n   navigate next
+map [fullscreen] <C-n> scroll down
+map [fullscreen] p   navigate previous
+map [fullscreen] <C-p> scroll up

-map [normal] n   scroll down
-map [normal] p   scroll up
+map [normal] n   navigate next
+map [normal] <C-n>   scroll down
+map [normal] p   navigate previous
+map [normal] <C-p>   scroll up

I can finally use zathura without having to torture myself with the vim key bindings!

Glad to help a fellow Emacs user! You might also be interested in Sticky Modifiers with Modified Keyboard Layout, that is, instead of <C-a>, you press then release <Control>, then press <a>. This repo, https://github.com/ne9z/ergo-keyboard-layout contains my modifications. It has: - Caps Lock → Left Ctrl - Apostrophe/Quotation mark → Right Ctrl - Tab → Apostrophe/Quotation mark - Right Ctrl → Tab (use C-i for Tab) - Use Caps Lock indicator for sticky modifier status.
