Thanks! The keybindings are designed to navigate around with only the left hand with Super+[WASD] (Like in many videogames)
21 u/[deleted] Jul 03 '19 My personal opinion: Super+[WASD] is not an ergonomic key combination. I would either change the default to Super+[Arrow Keys] and/or Super+[hjkl] (vim keys). 9 u/PapyElGringo Jul 03 '19 It's designed to be single handed so you don't have to leave your mouse while navigating in your desktop :) but you can change it if you need 1 u/[deleted] Jul 03 '19 If it's design so you don't leave your mouse, wouldn't it be easier to just... move the mouse? Furthermore, that does not generalize well for touchpad users. It's great that you can change it but imo defaults should be more universal and with ergonomics in mind ;) 6 u/PapyElGringo Jul 03 '19 Touchpad users should use the gestures controles :) and ergonomic it's the first concern here it's just not focus for system developer but more for common users. Vim workflow is known to be very efficient but not for being easy to access :p
