---------------------------------------- Keyboards and Clipboards November 04th, 2017 ---------------------------------------- Real quick notes tonight. First, there was some chatter on Mastodon earlier about terminal emulators leading me to remark how I'm still using konsole here on my laptop because I haven't quite cracked the nut on xterm clipboards. Well, that's not quite accurate anymore. I do have a decent copypasta going now via tmux locally using xsel and tmux-yank. It seems promising, so I may give xterm a go in the not-so distant future. It performs so much better with almost no memory footprint. That could be cool. Sad thing, though... tmux-yank says I should be able to copy & paste over remote terminal sessions if I have xsel on the remote and do a few other minor thingies. So far, no luck there. I would love to be able to cut & paste to SDF or at least the meta array, but that will have to wait. xterm first! Also, welcome to our happy gopher land to elsa [0]. She wrote about using dvorak at work and qwerty at home. I'm a dvorak user but didn't do it as smart as elsa. I transfered to this layout when I was in religious life and not using a computer for work. For that reason, I chose to switch completely all at once. As a result, I really can't type in qwerty anymore. She seems to be able to swap back and forth (even if it does take a paragraph to do it). That's a super-power as far as I'm concerned. I also agree that it's short sighted to continue teaching qwerty over dvorak, or even colemak. I understand the things that lead to that continuation, the things already in motion, but I think they're stupid. Learn to type in a way that makes sense and does the least damage. Rock on, elsa. Looking forward to more phosts! (TXT) [0] elsa - A City of Mine Own
