FAQ

What is Keymando?

Keymando is a Mac power tool for those who like to have complete control over the input into their computer.

Why should I use Keymando?

Because you want to get things done. Fast. Here’s how:

Speed – Keymando provides you quick access to input that would otherwise require a mouse, allowing you to leave your hands on the keyboard.

Familiarity – Keymando lets you map keyboard shortcuts you’re used to in one application to another. For example: Are you used to your window navigation in vim and want it in Google Chrome? It’s as simple as adding the following to your ~/.keymandorc.rb file.

    only /Chrome/ do
      map "<Ctrl-w>h", "<Cmd-{>"
      map "<Ctrl-w>l", "<Cmd-}>"
    end

Why Ruby?

Why not? Ruby is a great, dynamic, and extremely readable programming language.

Great, so I need to know how to program to use Keymando?

Not at all. Keymando syntax is extremely easy to follow. Keymando can be setup as simply or as complex as you like. Check out the documentation and examples for more information.

Where is my keymandorc.rb file stored?

~/Library/Application Support/Keymando/keymandorc.rb

Who made Keymando?

Keymando is the brainchild of Kevin Colyar (@kevincolyar). He, and fellow keyboard/productivity/coding master Jean-Paul Boodhoo (@jpboodhoo) work on Keymando, turning it into the best all around Mac tool out there.
