# Updated from https://gist.github.com/pkazmier to support yabai
#
# The following configuration heavily leverages modal keymaps to minimize the
# pollution of global keybindings. In addition, the modal keymaps facilitate
# the consistent use of the same keybindings across different modes. For
# example, this configuration uses 'h', 'l', 'j', and 'k' to represent west,
# east, south, and north when: changing focus, warping windows, resizing
# windows, swapping windows, and moving floating windows. Those four keys are
# mapped differently depending on the current mode to provide a consistent user
# experience.
#
# Six different modes are provided in this configuration in addition to the
# default mode. The modes are tailored to their respective operations. Common
# operations are generally available without the need of any modifier keys.
# When modifier keys are used, they are for infrequent actions or size related
# actions. Entry into the modal system is via Ctrl - Space, which enters FOCUS
# mode. From there, any of the other modes can be activated with a single
# keypress.
#
# The following is a high-level summary of the keybindngs:
#
# GLOBAL KEYBINDINGS:
# ctrl - space Enter FOCUS mode
# ctrl - return Open a Terminal
# cmd - return Open a floating Terminal
#
#
# KEYBINDINGS AVAILABLE IN ALL MODES:
# escape Exit current mode
# f Enter FOCUS mode
# g Enter GRID mode
# s Enter SWAP mode
# r Enter RESIZE mode
# w Enter WARP mode
# shift - w Enter WARP NO FOLLOW mode
#
# q Close window
# e Equalize window sizes
# m Toggle fullscreen
# o Toggle offset
# p Toggle parent zoom
# i Toggle split
# t Toggle float
# x Mirror horizontal
# y Mirror vertical
# space Rotate desktop 90
# shift - space Rotate desktop 270
#
#
# FOCUS MODE KEYBINDINGS:
# return, h, j, k, l Focus window (largest, west, south, north, east)
# cmd + h, j, k, l Set insertion point (west, south, north, east)
# 1, 2, 3, tab, shift - tab Focus monitor (1, 2, 3, next, prev)
# cmd + 1, 2, 3, tab, shift - tab Focus desktop (1, 2, 3, next, prev)
# cmd - t Float next window
# cmd - return Cancel insertion point and float next window
# cmd + b, m, f Set desktop layout mode (bsp, monacle, float)
#
#
# WARP MODE KEYBINDINGS:
# return, h, j, k, l Warp window (largest, west, south, north, east)
# 1, 2, 3, tab, shift - tab Warp to monitor (1, 2, 3, next, prev) and follow
# cmd + 1, 2, 3, tab, shift - tab Warp to desktop (1, 2, 3, next, prev) and follow
#
#
# WARP NO FOLLOW MODE KEYBINDINGS:
# return, h, j, k, l Warp window (largest, west, south, north, east)
# 1, 2, 3, tab, shift - tab Warp to monitor (1, 2, 3, next, prev) and do not follow
# cmd + 1, 2, 3, tab, shift - tab Warp to desktop (1, 2, 3, next, prev) and do not follow
#
#
# SWAP MODE KEYBINDINGS:
# return, h, j, k, l Swap window (largest, west, south, north, east)
#
#
# RESIZE MODE KEYBINDINGS:
# h, j, k, l Increase window (west, south, north, east)
# shift + h, j, k, l Decrease window (west, south, north, east)
#
#
# GRID MODE KEYBINDINGS:
# return, h, j, k, l Resize & move floating window (center, left, bottom, top, right)
# shift + return, h, j, k, l Resize smaller & move floating window (center, left, bottom, top, right)
# cmd + return, h, j, k, l Resize even smaller & move floating window (center, top-left, bottom-left, bottom-right, top-right)

# tab combination. Note: we do not use chunkwm's fast desktop switching as it
# requires chunk-sa (which injects code into the Dock.app). Insead, we fake
# this by sending keystrokes to mission control, but in order to do so, me must
# exit FOCUS mode, send the gloabl mission control keystroke, and then re-enter
# FOCUS mode, so we remain in focus mode. It's very likely that you'll want to
# change focus of windows after switching desktops, which is why we want to get
# back to FOCUS mode. Finally, due timing issues, we introduce a sleep as the
# standard mode commands are executed before mission control is done with its
# animation. Direct jumping to a window is faster than cycling through
# desktops, so the sleep delays are different.
