What does HackerNews think of vim-clutch?

Dunno about eyes, but feet sure have untapped potential :p https://github.com/alevchuk/vim-clutch

You mean something like this?

Not for moving the cursor, but I saw the “vim clutch” on here a while ago:

I used the same idea when setting up long-range WiFi (couple of KMs) via antenna for a mesh network.

In order to get the best latency/bandwidth, you need to point the antennas with precision at each other, and in order to know if you're pointing it right, you need to run some tool on a display at the same time, like `ping`, and see when it gets lower when you're pointing it right.

So rather than having to look with one eye towards the horizon, and one eye on a screen to see a tiny number (which I found impossible), I made a quick script that outputs a beep each time ping returns output, with the frequency being higher when the latency got lower. So now I could focus solely on the horizon while using my ears to hear if I was getting in the right direction.

Lots of fun, super useful and makes me wonder (just like you) what other tooling we could use more senses with, rather than just our eyes.

Similar vain: the vim foot pedal: https://github.com/alevchuk/vim-clutch

Haha, the pedals do actually exist. I'm sure the guy who'd complain about the cable doesn't :D You can hook up like a guitar pedal or a cheap pedal from Alibaba over USB and it'll do the thing. Honestly, though, I found it quite hard to use in clutch or toggle mode because:

1. Had to keep foot in the same place

2. When had to raise foot it was annoying holding it up like that

Here's a link for clutch mode: https://github.com/alevchuk/vim-clutch

Oh yeah? Start with engaging your feet: https://github.com/alevchuk/vim-clutch

Get yourself a clutch :) https://github.com/alevchuk/vim-clutch

this is apple, be on the lookout for the new iVimClutch. (for those who dont know what a vim clutch is: https://github.com/alevchuk/vim-clutch)

If you're not using vimclutch already you're doing it wrong

https://github.com/alevchuk/vim-clutch

That was my first thought - I selected some generic USB pedal, but it failed to arrive, so I used what I had at hand. Also, there could be a problem with pre-made USB pedals - they may only transmit events on pedal down, like it happened for Vim Clutch author (https://github.com/alevchuk/vim-clutch).

Some built such a foot pedal: https://github.com/alevchuk/vim-clutch
