Colemak Navigation Doesn't Work Everywhere

[eeriemyxi]

I am using keyboard-layer feature to get Colemak navigation keys. But I have noticed that it is not really consistent in places where I'd really expect it to be consistent since they are built-in features of either Spacemacs or Emacs.

SPC w still uses hjkl mnemonic, which I had to fix myself,

  (spacemacs/set-leader-keys
    "wN"  'evil-window-move-very-bottom
    "wn"  'evil-window-down
    "wE"  'evil-window-move-very-top
    "we"  'evil-window-up
    "wI"  'evil-window-move-far-right
    "wi"  'evil-window-right
    )

Then now I noticed dired windows are using hjkl navigation keys too. I am new to Emacs and had to spend hours to find a working fix for fixing the windows navigation keys; I don't want to do that again for dired, could somebody tell me how to fix dired nagivation keys?

I had to do the research myself at last... Well I managed to get it to work. Here is the guide for the other fellow Colemak people:

Put this in the user config section of your .spacemacs file:

(evil-collection-define-key 'normal 'dired-mode-map
    "n" 'dired-next-line  
    "e" 'dired-previous-line 
    "h" 'dired-up-directory
    "i" 'dired-find-file 

    (kbd "M-C-e") 'dired-tree-up
    (kbd "M-C-n") 'dired-tree-down
    (kbd "M-C-h") 'dired-prev-subdir
    (kbd "M-C-i") 'dired-next-subdir

    (kbd "* C-e") 'dired-prev-marked-file
    (kbd "* C-n") 'dired-next-marked-file
    )
