iReal quick notes tonight. First, there was some chatter on |
|
iMastodon earlier about terminal emulators leading me to remark how |
|
iI'm still using konsole here on my laptop because I haven't quite |
|
icracked the nut on xterm clipboards. Well, that's not quite |
|
iaccurate anymore. I do have a decent copypasta going now via tmux |
|
ilocally using xsel and tmux-yank. It seems promising, so I may |
|
igive xterm a go in the not-so distant future. It performs so much |
|
ibetter with almost no memory footprint. That could be cool. |
|
i |
|
iSad thing, though... tmux-yank says I should be able to copy |
|
i& paste over remote terminal sessions if I have xsel on the remote |
|
iand do a few other minor thingies. So far, no luck there. I would |
|
ilove to be able to cut & paste to SDF or at least the meta array, |
|
ibut that will have to wait. xterm first! |

iAlso, welcome to our happy gopher land to elsa [0]. She wrote |
|
iabout using dvorak at work and qwerty at home. I'm a dvorak user |
|
ibut didn't do it as smart as elsa. I transfered to this layout |
|
iwhen I was in religious life and not using a computer for work. |
|
iFor that reason, I chose to switch completely all at once. As |
|
ia result, I really can't type in qwerty anymore. She seems to be |
|
iable to swap back and forth (even if it does take a paragraph to |
|
ido it). That's a super-power as far as I'm concerned. I also agree |
|
ithat it's short sighted to continue teaching qwerty over dvorak, |
|
ior even colemak. I understand the things that lead to that |
|
icontinuation, the things already in motion, but I think they're st |
|
iLearn to type in a way that makes sense and does the least damage. |
|
i |
|
iRock on, elsa. Looking forward to more phosts! |
