lol at that amarok screenshot. I see they've decided that the only button you need is pause. i guess technically that's true.

i still think 1.4 was the bomb but maybe some of that is nostalgia.

is there any recent research on this that actually takes into account modern screen sizes and the existence of muscle memory, or is it just received wisdom from the 1980s?

because I'm hella skeptical. I can believe that flicking the mouse to the top of the screen to open a menu is very fast and efficient, but then you have to pick something from that menu and you're right back to the problem of trying to precisely hit a very small target that is not anchored to the edge of the screen any more.

and I'm pretty confident that I can consistently press Alt-F, S faster than you can pick the Save option from a menu, however much you practice. I don't even have to take my eyes off what I'm doing.

race me motherfucker

wayland uses libxkbcommon. this is their site in 2017: https://xkbcommon.org/, and have fun with their "documentation". as far as i can tell, there is currently no way to change the keyboard model in a wayland desktop environment like gnome? at least ibus has been good for a while now and that makes layout switching super easy.

to make matters worse, a lot of x apps have in recent years apparently decided to ignore many xkb or xmodxmap settings (yes, i tried xmodmap too, after failing with xkb).

some backstory, i use a chomebook as a work laptop (the 3:2 2560x1700 monitor is worth having only 64gb ssd imo, I have my loud music and other big files on the SD card anyway), so i have to use the chomebook keyboard model to get keys like pgup/dn. this isn't anything new, all my previous laptops used Fn+keys for most all of these, however these were "hardware" keys using the Fn key so i could just use the default generic 101 key keyboard and everything worked fine

on a chomebook, i remap these keys to right alt+arrows, 1) because that is where that fn key used to be on my previous keyboard, and 2) it's also the default chomebook kb model behaviour in default xkb files, so why not just do this right?

well, no. firefox and chome ignore xkb almost entirely. qt and gtk apps appear to be aware of the xkb options, as all shortcuts work as expected. however, none of the keyboard model (home/end/pgup/dn etc combinations) functions work. the only windows where the entirety of keyboard works as expected are gnome-terminal and xterm. meanwhile, konsole is the only app that appears to ignore xkb completely, even my ctrl-winkey swap doesn't work (winkey on chomebook is where capslock used to be), and that option works everywhere else.

there's that very weird exception too: qt creator (a very good c++ ide btw) has a fakevim mode, that makes its editor window behave like vim. *all* the keys and combinations work correctly with that. why? I have absolutely zero idea. they don't work with the normal behaviour text editor, nor the rest of the ide components

poo poo's completely inconsistent. i'd have probably sold the laptop by now if qt creator and terminal wasn't literally 99% of my use.

fake edit:

always

lol why the gently caress would you do this to yourself??
