Recommended guidelines for application and desktop shortcuts? #225
-
I've recently switched to miryoku (it is a masterpiece; thank you for all your work, @manna-harbour), and since so much about the way I use the keyboard has changed anyway (especially because I'm coming from QWERTY), I'm taking the opportunity to move around my custom keybindings. Do you (readers) have any recommendations? By the way, @manna-harbour, I would expect this situation to be quite common, and many users may find it helpful to see your answer (I expect it would be of very high quality) featured somewhere in Miryoku's documentation.

Miryoku was designed so that any combination of any mods and any other key can be made with minimum effort, so I just use existing keybindings when available. I don't have many custom keybindings, so I can just use Using all four mods seems fine if your switches are light enough. If not, you could replace |

I was previously simply using Super, but I have decided to place all my custom keybindings instead within this constraint from Emacs's conventions for user-reserved key sequences: https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/c97e7a2da2e5707fc94c2c5e2ddd5f2395cdb80b/doc/lispref/tips.texi#L286C1-L288C56.
