Switch <C-j> and <C-k> to make it more visually intuitive ?

[cassepipe]

I am very happy to be able to navigate to tabs with <C-j> and <C-k> but for the life of me, it's been two months and cannot get used to the fact that j (on the left of k) is to go to the right and vice-versa

I feel like being that having a visual cue in the position is more important and anyways if we wanted to be really vim, we would use <C-h> and <C-l> right ?

I know I could change it in the config but I wonder if I am the only one to have that feeling.

hmm yeah I can see why this feels weird, I personally use vertical tabs which means that <C-j> and <C-k> map perfectly to my expectations.

I wonder if the default keymaps should depend on whether you're using vertical tabs or not. That does feel quite weird, and I don't think we can easily determine vertical tabs or not if you're using an extension, but maybe it's worth it...

Looks like Vimium and Tridactyl do default to J: tab_prev, K: tab_next.

if we wanted to be really vim, we would use and right ?

<C-l>conflicts with a builtin keymap to focus the address bar, so overriding that would be a more confusing default sadly.

I know I could change it in the config but I wonder if I am the only one to have that feeling.

I appreciate the callout instead of just updating your config! I'm always looking for better defaults :)

Trying to determine how many other people have felt the same way with this search: https://github.com/search?q=%2Fglide.keymaps.set.*tab_next%2F&type=code

It looks like at least one other person has had the same experience as you: https://github.com/Dieal/nixdots/blob/a07d176458124e20f9060b7d8f38c0441c628757/config/glide/keymaps.ts#L8.

A couple other people have added the H/L version:

• https://github.com/y3owk1n/nix-system-config-v2/blob/c1232d4381867746b4ab4a0911e9a4f8bc5cc9e8/config/glide/glide.ts#L65
• https://github.com/adamsoderstrom/adamrc/blob/a0cdde27a2ee6a80e38d22ea30ded94c63920e73/configs/glide/glide.ts#L19

Some people have explicitly kept the default J/K ordering:

• https://github.com/Dieal/nixdots/blob/a07d176458124e20f9060b7d8f38c0441c628757/config/glide/keymaps.ts#L9

So, this search is inconclusive :/
