This is still my primary development machine. I run a heavily customized but stable macOS setup designed for long coding sessions and predictable behavior.

The Input Stack

My rule is simple: keep my hands on the home row as much as possible. The default macOS keybindings are not enough for that, so I rely on Karabiner-Elements with a Hyper key layout.

The center of this setup is the Hyper Key (Caps Lock as Cmd+Shift+Opt+Ctrl). Window movement and app switching are mapped to Vim-style motions so navigation stays consistent with my editor habits.

Window Management

I now use Aerospace as my tiling window manager. Workspaces are app-scoped by default, and the keybindings stay close to the same Vim-style movement model.

Current environment: Aerospace + Karabiner + WezTerm
