sixty.nvim

Neovim plugin that disables arrow keys and encourages using a 60% keyboard layout by displaying reminders.

About

Remaps following keys to <Nop> as well notifying user to use 60% layout keys:

vim.keymap.set(
  "{n,i,v,c}",
  "{<Up>,<Down>,<Left>,<Right>}",
  notifications.notify_arrow_usage,
  { remap = false, silent = true }
)

Also enables tcsh-style command line controls:

vim.keymap.set("c", "<C-A>", "<Home>", { remap = false })
vim.keymap.set("c", "<C-F>", "<Right>", { remap = false })
vim.keymap.set("c", "<C-B>", "<Left>", { remap = false })

Installation

Using lazy.nvim, add this plugin as follows:

{
  "deytenit/sixty.nvim",
  config = function()
    require("sixty").setup()
  end,
}

Important

If you are using LazyVim, add the following to your keymaps.lua to ensure the arrow keys are disabled in normal mode:

-- sixty.nvim
local status, sixty = pcall(require, "sixty")
if status and sixty then
  sixty.set("n", "<Up>")
  sixty.set("n", "<Down>")
end

Setup Options

You can pass options to sixty.setup() to customize the plugin's behavior:

notify_timeout (default: 2000): Set the duration of the notification display in milliseconds.

Example:

require("sixty").setup({
  notify_timeout = 3000, -- Notification will display for 3 seconds
})
