When typing, remember to arch your wrists as though there is a small dog sleeping in front of your keyboard.
I'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.
@rl_dane@polymaths.socialNot too bad, if I say so myself!

@kelpana@mastodon.ieIs 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. With an external keyboard I can set it to [Menu], but my laptop's built in keyboard doesn't have [Menu]

@theogrin@chaosfem.twBlood 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.

aresluna.orgI started to use #VIM within #IntelliJ a while ago - thanks to @daschners. Now my brain messes with me in other editors. I am not the only one with that problem, right? How do other VIM users handle typing in other editors like browsers or mail clients? #Editors #Typing #Programming

I had a #typing class in 7th grade in about 1985. They were "fancy" electric #typewriters. We were taught to put two spaces after a period. The habit continues today on computer #keyboards.
How did you learn to type?
@orhun@fosstodon.orgPeople ask why I use Neovim.
It's because of amazing plugins like this 
**typr**: Typing practice plugin for Neovim with dashboard.
Supports showing detailed stats & configuration!

Remember the Human:
First advice for new consultants
"You're #typing? Use a CDU, gramps." Bo coded 'til Jake reached for the cord. "I'll activate her now and she'll kill you." Bo giggled, "And probably me." On the other end of the cord was a limp, motley android, "This is Kiki."
Jake stared.
Bo sighed and rolled his eyes, "Austin Kiki."
"Oh shit. Stop!" Jake clenched so he didn't wet himself.
"No, it's ok! I'm #converting her to be good!" then hit ENTER a bit too hard.
Eyes flashed violet and a chorus of voices intoned, "Happy Birthday."

@tract_linguistes@sciences.reVous vous souvenez (enfin, surtout les personnes nées ya un bon moment) de l'epoque-ou-on -ecrivait-des-mails-sans-les-accents-cedilles-tremas-en-francais?
Il y a encore des langues qui doivent passer par des fonts spéciales qu'il faut installer pour pouvoir lire correctement et ne pas avoir des carrés ou des caractères au hasard.
Or, cela fait super longtemps que le problème n'est pas technique. Il n'est pas non plus linguistique évidemment...

Why is it so hard to type in Indigenous languages?
"The challenges to achieving universal encoding for historically-marginalized languages are no longer technical; they are bureaucratic and political".

**Handwriting but not typewriting leads to widespread brain connectivity: a high-density EEG study with implications for the classroom**
_“Our results reveal that whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity. It appears that the movements related to typewriting do not activate these connectivity networks the same way that handwriting does.”_
