Timeline for Emacsify OSX throughout: word-forward (⌥ + F) and word-backward (⌥ + B) instead of 'special characters'?

It seems DefaultKeyBinding.dict option does not work in El-Capitan anymore, I tried to follow superuser.com/questions/1340224/… or apple.stackexchange.com/questions/119639/… but failed. I guess the changes in OSX version are big since creators of KeyRemap4MacBook (now Karabiner) had to rewrite "Karabiner as Karabiner-Elements-11.0.0 from scratch due to kernel architecture changes in macOS Sierra".

@courteous I added that to the answer as well. I have "~w" = selectWord:; in my DefaultKeyBinding.dict.

Got the ⇧+⌥+B to also select the previous word; (I think) enabling Option + BF to Option Left/Right did the trick. Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction.

| Nov 18, 2012 at 16:51 | comment | added | Blaz | Perfect! I apologize for not heeding the advice earlier. :) Well, almost perfect: how would you select a word? ⇧+⌥+B prints out some character (while one would want it to select the previous word). | |
| Nov 18, 2012 at 14:52 | comment | added | Lri | @courteous The emacs mode in KeyRemap4MacBook does that. It's not possible in a keylayout file or with DefaultKeyBinding.dict. | |

Lauri, how would you override ^ + N (which is now mapped to moveDown:, if I'm not mistaken) to behave as a down-arrow (\UF701)? This would then allow you to navigate through Google's autocompletion, as well as search results, without having to use the down-arrow.

| Nov 12, 2012 at 19:36 | comment | added | Lri | KeyRemap4MacBook has an emacs mode group that changes for example ⌥F to ⌥→, but not when Terminal or Emacs is frontmost. You can customize it by creating a private.xml based on it. I think the real solution is to just get a keyboard with the arrow keys and modifier keys at better positions. | |

As you say, it doesn't work in all apps. Xcode, for one, won't budge to this .dict (but that can be "solved" with a custom keybinding, say, ⌘+B and ⌘+F). Still, very powerful to have Emacs-like behavior (almost) throughout the OS.

| Nov 11, 2012 at 10:20 | comment | added | Blaz | Amazing. Changing relatively low-level behavior and yet so easy. A leap closer to a OS paradise. Hopefully there is even better, 100 % working solution, otherwise this is the answer. | |
