;;; Commentary:

;; xah-fly-keys is a efficient keybinding for emacs. It is modal like
;; vi, but key choices are based on statistics of command call
;; frequency.

;; HOW TO USE

;; M-x xah-fly-keys to toggle the mode on/off.

;; Important command/insert mode switch keys:

;; xah-fly-command-mode-activate (press <home> or F8 or Alt+Space or
;; Ctrl+Space or menu key)

;; xah-fly-insert-mode-activate (when in command mode, press qwerty
;; letter key f.)

;; When in command mode:

;; "f" calls `xah-fly-insert-mode-activate'.

;; Space is a leader key. For example, "SPC r" calls `query-replace'.
;; Press "SPC C-h" to see the full list.

;; "SPC SPC" also activates insertion mode.

;; "SPC RET" calls `execute-extended-command-for-buffer' (if emacs
;; 28), else `execute-extended-command'.

;; "a" calls `execute-extended-command'.

;; The leader key sequence basically replace ALL emacs commands that
;; starts with C-x key.

;; When using xah-fly-keys, you don't need to press Control or Meta,
;; with the following exceptions:

;; "C-c" for major mode commands.
;; "C-g" for cancel.
;; "C-q" for quoted-insert.
;; "C-h" for getting a list of keys following a prefix/leader key.

;; Leader key

;; You NEVER need to press "C-x"

;; Any emacs command that has a keybinding starting with C-x, has also
;; a key sequence binding in xah-fly-keys. For example,

;; "C-x b" for `switch-to-buffer' is "SPC f"
;; "C-x C-f" for `find-file' is "SPC i e"
;; "C-x n n" for `narrow-to-region' is "SPC l l"

;; The first key we call it leader key. In the above examples, the SPC
;; is the leader key.

;; When in command mode, the "SPC" is a leader key.

;; the following standard keys with Control are supported:

;; "C-TAB" `xah-next-user-buffer'
;; "C-S-TAB" `xah-previous-user-buffer'
;; "C-v" paste
;; "C-w" close
;; "C-z" undo
;; "C-n" new
;; "C-o" open
;; "C-s" save
;; "C-S-s" save as
;; "C-S-t" open last closed
;; "C-+" `text-scale-increase'
;; "C--" `text-scale-decrease'

;; To disable both Control and Meta shortcut keys, add the following
;; lines to you init.el before (require 'xah-fly-keys):

;; (setq xah-fly-use-control-key nil)
;; (setq xah-fly-use-meta-key nil)

;; If you have a bug, post on github.

;;; Installation:
;; here's how to manual install

;; put the file xah-fly-keys.el in ~/.emacs.d/lisp/
;; create the dir if doesn't exist.

;; put the following in your emacs init file:

;; (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/")
;; (require 'xah-fly-keys)
;; (xah-fly-keys-set-layout "qwerty") ; required

;; possible layout values:

;; adnw
;; azerty
;; azerty-be
;; beopy
;; bepo
;; carpalx-qfmlwy
;; carpalx-qgmlwb
;; carpalx-qgmlwy
;; colemak
;; colemak-mod-dh
;; colemak-mod-dh-new
;; dvorak
;; koy
;; neo2
;; norman
;; programer-dvorak
;; pt-nativo
;; qwerty

Also, by setting them with xah-fly-shared-map, it becomes unchangeable, that is, if a major mode set a key for C-t, it will have no effect. Current solution is just to use global-set-key. The disadvantage is that these changes leak, that is, xah-fly-keys is turned off, these ctrl keys are still changed. Still, this is better, because xah fly keys is not really meant to be turned off.

;; 2022-04-03 There's a new notation for key, based on finger.
;; For example the qwerty e key is Lp2p1.
;; The notation is like this: [left or rigt hand][column number][row number].
;; L means left hand, R means right hand
;; Column position, pointing finger is 1, index is 2, ring finger is 3, pinky is 4, and so on in that direction. Thumb is 0. In the thumb direction is -1, -2 etc.
;; Row position, home row is 0. Above is 1, below is -1.
;; Positive number are written with p in front. Eg p1, p2. Zero is p0. Negative can be written with n in front, eg n1, n2.
;; This system is a notation system for keyboard physical layout, which also indicates associated finger for that key.
;; The advantage is that it's a logical system, not based on arbitrary table lookup.
;; Qwerty, dvorak, etc can then be mapped to this logical system.
