with all the time you save from not having to move windows around with the mouse, the time investment in getting a tiling window manager to work pays for itself within mere decades

let me just use use this extremely modal editor hacked together on top of ed in the days before terminals even had loving arrow keys

of course it lets me edit code fast, it can't possibly be an illusion caused by the extremely high cognitive load presented by trying to use a grad student's weekend hack 35 years later to do real work

to be fair, vim is incredibly fast at hammering out and editing text.

but that's not the hard part of programming, so uh.

Oh, but that's where you're wrong. Modeless editing and remembering A-< C- A-> C-w c-x o a-x goto-line c-y to copy the contents of one file into another at a specified line is superior.

But I prefer using an IDE because that's the sane way to write software on something newer than aix 4.3.

emacs is actually really good and works fine as an ide for most languages*. (the secret is that people write all the code refactoring poo poo using the languge's native reflection, and just talk down a pipe to emacs)

*but not C#. holy gently caress do not use emacs for C#, it is real bad

I recently learned that an older friend of mine has KEDIT set to launch at login on Windows and uses it for everything

he's probably switching to THE soon since it's maintained and available in a "modern" version on more platforms like Linux and OS X

the macbook touchpad works just fine with the normal synaptics driver under linux

if you left osx installed on your macbook that's your own drat fault. you should expect dumb mouse behavior

supposedly this will work in 4.2, but the broadcom driver being unable to see 5GHz networks will probably be unchanged

You are of course remapping caps lock to control so this doesn't affect you.
