Devil is interesting minor mode for Emacs (not my package). I have been using it for a while and it works very nicely. Earlier I have mapped Caps Lock to control, and Enter to Enter or Control, depending whether it is pressed alone.
But Devil-mode offers similar nice, non-modal symmetric touch typing experience, without a need for dynamic keyboard remapping, and using only elisp.
The Emacs subreddit had a post about Devil-mode few days ago, so I try to be active and Post here. Hopefully Lemmy will get more active Emacs users and posts, Reddit being now what it is.
I’ve been using Devil for a little while now. The right control key is pretty far from the home row on my keyboard, so the usual touch typing motions are inconvenient. I feel like Devil, which I have mapped to semicolon, lets me reclaim some of that.
I have caps lock as control as well, so that gives me control access on both sides of the home row. The two sides behave a bit differently since caps lock is an actual modifier, but that hasn’t been an issue for me.
Putting it on semicolon is a good idea, that might be less awkward than comma. I’ll give that a shot thanks.
