shift_space_for_snake_case using PowerToys
My biggest problem with snake_case in programming is that I find it flow-breaking to write the underscore separator character.
If I had a dedicated underscore key on my keyboard it would be a lot easier to cope with.
There are some guides that suggest AutoHotKey remapping a key, but I did not have the opportunity to install AutoHotKey on my work computer.
But the Windows PowerToys package from Microsoft is allowed on my PC, and that has a built in Keyboard Manager.
In PowerToys you are able to remap Shortcuts:
By using the remap functionality you can easily add remaps for singular apps so they do not get in the way for shortcuts in other apps!
This way I added the shortcut Shift-Space to write _ instead of doing nothing in Godot Engine! I just need one hand to write a underscore now. Finally I can write Python or GDScript without annoyances!
In the future I might consider remapping CAPS_LOCK as a dedicated underscore key, as that makes it just a single key-press for an underscore. Making it just as easy to write snake_case as camelCase!
Thats it for this time. Hope this helps someone out!
