Ah yes, another ode to a glorified text editor with a keyboard shortcut fetish 🧙‍♂️. As our dear author waxes poetic, we can only marvel at their "intimate" connection to a program that’s basically a Rubik's cube for masochists 🧩. Surely, the world will stop turning if the mighty #Vim ever exits stage left 🎭.

A eulogy for Vim

Today I (re-)Learned how to remove a pain that I have been having for many years, but now that I asked to the Fediverse, I (re-)found the answer… much as I was imagining it in the last paragraph (so, thanks for being a virtual rubber duck!):

1. Go to System Settings
2. Search for Keyboard shortcuts
3. Click on any of the two results: one pops up the Spotlight keyboard shortcuts, the other pops up the Modifier Keys section.
4. Click on App Shortcuts entry in the sidebar of the pop up
5. Click on the + sign, and in the popup, select Keynote.app in the Applications popup, type Webpage as the menu item name, and then type Command-K (⌘K) on the Keyboard shortcut field.
6. (Just to make sure that I still can use a shortcut for the Slide one, and not just delete it) Click on the + sign, and in the popup, select Keynote.app in the Applications popup (it defaults to All Applications every time), type Slide as the menu item name, and then type Command-Shift-K (⌘⇧K) on the Keyboard shortcut field.

That's it! I can now use ⌘K on Keynote, and just paste the link that I already had in the Keyboard for it… whereas previously that changed the text being displayed in the slide, while linking it to the next slide, which was definitely not what I wanted.
