Brett Sheffield (he/him)When typing, remember to arch your wrists as though there is a small dog sleeping in front of your keyboard.<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/typing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typing</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ergonomics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ergonomics</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a>

William SmithI'll go ahead and say it. Predictive typing is as advanced as just throwing spaghetti at a wall and seeing what sticks.The typo in "hour” is mine. The suggestion to complete the sentence with "horseshoe” is Microsoft Outlook’s.Even worse, I have "Check spelling as you type” and “Check grammar as you type" both turned on.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/computers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/grammar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#grammar</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/predictive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#predictive</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spelling</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/typing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typing</a>

Bryan FinkI have my external keyboard mapped for Colemak. When I’m not at my desk, I flip an OS switch to remap the built-in keyboard type Colemak instead of QWERTY. I often forget to flip this switch back when I return to my desk, which makes my Colemak external keyboard get reinterpreted as Colemak-on-QWERTY. So effectively I end up typing on this layout:<pre><code>QWT;Z NILJO APRBG HKFUY XCDSV EM,./ </code></pre>I think that now that I’ve seen the virtual layout, I have to name it “Quit me” (QWT + Z-rhyme, and it’s what I have to do). <a class="hashtag" href="https://couch.beerriot.com/tag/keyboard" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#keyboard</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://couch.beerriot.com/tag/typing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typing</a>

Thor A. HoplandI wrote a <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/shortstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shortstory</a> today ^.~ With my phone. Using a stylus and swiping.That, and a good editor app.I wrote an abstract <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/feminist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feminist</a> allegory...I think. The writer lives in me and I must give it way, something that I've always found hard on <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/smartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smartphones</a>. But with the current approach, I think I can get closer and closer to the type of writing feel mostly associated with touch <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/typing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typing</a>.I've got a writing session coming up on Friday, and if we're lucky, good things can come from it.

AlannaIs there any way to set the compose in Linux to AltGr without breaking the standard Irish keyboard layout? I'd like to be able to type €áéíóú on my laptop but also use the keyboard for German and French with the compose key.

ItsCarrylI haven‘t typed so much in years as the last few days. I‘m having to correct <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/typos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typos</a> so much, three or four times a word sometimes, it’s really annoying.Trying to select a word often gets the two either side of it as well, or the line above, and I wonder if that’s me or the app. Sometimes the app stops responding for a moment, though not freezing.Even autocorrect gets it wrong occasionally when I do type a word right, giving my hands even more work.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/typing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mobility</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hands</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a>

Jennifer Kayla | Theogrin 🦊Blood Typing is fun! For those who've enjoyed The Typing of the Dead, you've got your same sort of lo-fi stuff you'd expect from a demake, plenty of zombies (especially if you run up the timer), a bunch of inventory juggling, and schlock galore. And to quote a reviewer of a very different game, "Oh, piss and blimey, there's jam coming out of the walls."The demo's a good half-hour to an hour, being the first chapter, and I don't expect the rest of it to be too spectacularly long, but the fun is always to beat your best score and try out other party compositions, so it might just be a good buy once we're inclined to buy something else.Admittedly, later this week we will have monsters to hunt.<a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gaming</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/zombies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zombies</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/typing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typing</a>
