Yeah, I feel you. I’m in that space now and it’s uncomfortable, and I’m always keeping an eye out for a solution.
I have:
the WM, with its key bindings, running
the terminal, with its (mercifully few) key bindings, running
tmux, with a bunch of key bindings, running
helix, with a vast number of key bindings.
And that’s ignoring readline, which Helix uses sometimes and the shell always does.
The nesting is admittedly absurd. The thing keeping me sane is that I’m strict about keeping the bindings the same, varying only by command key. Mod4-l focuses right in the WM, long-press-h-l (QMK yay) focuses right one pane in tmux. I haven’t rebound Helix pane movement, but I rarely use windows in Helix.
But I still get befuddled sometimes. Too many nested panels and layers of key bindings. I need to find a solution for it, eventually.
