Ideas for speeding up

speed-setup.md

• Make f1 - f12 default to function keys and require Fn for media keys
• Optional: Remove mouse and reduce sensitivity of trackpad to force into keyboard use
  • Remember the menu key
• Conventional app shortcuts:
  • f2: Rename
  • f8 - f11: Debug play/pause, step into, step out, step over, run to cursor (varies)
  • f12/Ctrl+Shift+I/J: Browser dev tools
  • Ctrl+Shift+C/I: Browser dev tools: inspect element
  • Ctrl+`: Invoke console
  • (Shift+)f5: Refresh
  • f1: Help
  • Ctrl(+Shift)+Tab / Ctrl+PgDn/Up: Next, previous tab (slight different semantics)
  • Ctrl-W: Close tab
  • Ctrl/Alt+1-9: Focus tab at index (Personal: use browser pinned tabs for common tabs, e.g. Ctrl+1 for email, Ctrl+2 for issue tracker, Ctrl+3 for main debug tab...)
  • Alt,[a-z]: Menu navigation
• Conventional IDE Shortcuts
  • Ctrl+P: Go to file
  • Ctrl+Shift+P: Run command
  • Ctrl+Space: Invoke autocompletion
  • F12: Go to definition
  • F5: Run
  • Toggle Line Comment (Ctrl+/ on VSCode, maybe only chord available on mac os)
• Window management:
  • Alt/Super(+Shift)+Tab: Focus next, previous app
  • Defining and handling workspaces
  • Global keyboard shortcut for app launcher with search (Spotlight, dmenu_run, Windows search)
  • Personal: Stable shortcuts for apps (e.g. Super+1 for terminal, Super+2 for browser, Super+3 for IDE...)
  • Mac/windows: 3+ finger touches
  • Personal: Add 3rd party window management tools for mac, like Amethist
• CLI:
  • z
  • Personal: oh-my-zsh or equivalent alias bundle + prompt with PWD and git information
  • Personal: Terminal multiplexing or emulator with tab support or tiling window manager
• IDE Techniques:
  • Find/replace
  • Multi-cursor
• Touch typing (https://www.typingclub.com/ is nice)
• VIM Stuff
  • vimtutor
  • Personal: Add vim plugin to IDE
  • Personal: Add vim plugin to browser
  • Enable shortcuts on Gmail
  • Trello also has these
  • ? usually triggers docs on these
