Phoenix

My Phoenix setup.

Installation

This configuration uses a remap of the Caps Lock key to something more useful, the Hyper key ⇪: basically just Ctrl + Alt + Cmd combined into one key. If you prefer you may skip the remap step while you try the configuration.

1. Install Phoenix.
2. Install Hyperkey to remap Caps lock to Hyper.
3. Execute mkdir ~/.config.
4. Execute cd ~/.config.
5. Execute git clone git@github.com:fabiospampinato/phoenix.git.
6. Restart Phoenix.
7. Enjoy!

Customization

To disable specific features, just comment out their correspondent require call in phoenix.js.

To tweak some numbers, simply edit constants.js.

Changing the specific shortcut used to trigger an action is pretty trivial.

Don't forget to make a PR if you fixed something or implemented something cool :)
