Shortcat lets you do a mouseclick inside of OS X. https://shortcatapp.com/

Unfortunately full keyboard access lets you do most things so there's not an overwhelming benefit. Quite impressed with gleeBox. Protip: Turn off Google Instant search or gleeBox will not work correctly.

Nice. You might like Short Cat. Whole screen via one short cut. Also Amethyst is great for windows. I would use it but my monitor is too wide. Keyboard Maestro is the most amazing keyboard app. I set up a whole window palette to divide up my screen multiple ways. It can also click the mouse and pretty much anything else.

Dearest Brother @bryanl, Thank you for the GREAT post about code folding in Vim, VERY useful!! It is NOT possible to beg for respect, you can only COMMAND it; "I don't want acceptance, I want to belong"? Related to what??!?!!? (The Last Poets). And to quote another GREAT group: "Free Your Mind... and Your Ass Will Follow" (Funkadelic). BLACK POWER starts from within. @hotrodimusconvo

None of this works unless you are logged in. How do you login using the keyboard?

Some posts have said:

"on the Login Window (list of users) press the up/down arrows to highlight the user you want.
- press enter/return (if you select the wrong user just press the esc key).
- type your password and press enter/return again."

But my login screen on the new mac doesn't list user accounts in the vertical fashion, they are listed horizontally. (none of the) Arrow keys don't seem to work; CNTRL+F1, CNTRL+F2, and most other combos I've tried don't work.

Mac OS version: can't tell since I can't login. (think it is mountain lion, ~June2013)

I don't think your foldlevel setting is doing anything if you have nofoldenable set. Also, you may want to look at foldlevelstart as that won't clobber modeline settings. Thanks for the video, good stuff.

Such redundancy would be worthless if the multiple parts were _exactly_ the same. Then they'd all trivially fail at the same time. If a project has a requirement for redundant parts, as failsafes, then the parts should perforce be different. Hence they are still DRY. Does that answer your question, masquerading as snark?

I like saving this as an application and using a Quicksilver trigger to set the keyboard shortcut. Command + L ftw. Thanks for the post!

For anyone googling and getting here...

Some common key bindings:
`za` - toggles

`zc` - closes

`zo` - opens

`zR` - open all

`zM` - close all
