My Neovim Key Mappings
These are my custom key mappings for Neovim. I use a moonlander keyboard that allow you to add "layers" for some advanced functionality. For example, when I hold down the Enter key and press g the keyboard sends Option Shift g to Neovim. I have that mapped below (via `<M-S-g>``) to open my Grimoire.
Holding down the Enter is called a Layer Shift. I use LS below to remind myself what the speicfic keys to press are since they aren't necessarily mapped directly. (That's because I don't want to fight with some of the default Neovim configuration so I swap out letters)

-- same way regular layer j and k move lines

These are some keymaps that came with Telescope, etc... that I've turned off for now becuase it was too much at the start. I want to play with them again though so I'm keeping them around

There's like 200 variations of this as I've tweaked it over time. One of these days I'm going to make an animation out of that. What you see is up to date though since this is the site that generates the firmware

Some of the best money I've spent is on this keyboard. They key features are: 1. it's a split keyboard, 2. it has an ortholinear key layout (i.e. they are in straight lines), and 3. Key mapping.
The first two are for ergonomics that help prevent RSI. The last is kinda the same as it lets me make common things that would otherwise require a weird move to be mapped to a basic keypress
