Muscle Memory part II
-
DIdn't want to hijack the other Muscle memory thread, but here are my two biggest muscle memory gripes at the moment:
-
Safari on IOS. Open a new tab, and you get a 4 by n grid of all bookmarks. Click on the address bar, and you also get a grid of bookmarks. Only this time it is on a 5 by n grid. I've actually organised my bookmarks so that the most used are in the top right corner, assuming a
4 x nlayout (guess which site is in the absolute top right position). I can't count the number of times I've ended up going to reddit/r/emacs instead of hither because of this inconsistency. -
The idiotic idea that avarars are clickable on the Home/Unread tab on NodeBB. This has made my interaction with every other site that has the same type of "[image] text" layout (for example reddit) slower since now I always have to stop and think whether clicking the image will have the effect I want.

My browser regularly consults Google for "what" because it was too slow completing the domain.

instead of hither
Kept reading that as "instead of hitler." Guess that's my trolling memory getting in the way again.

I knew people had favorite editors, but I didn't realize they had subcultures around them.

@error Not quality people. Not people you'd want to, say, put in charge of a McDonalds. Maybe the people you'd put in charge of the milkshake machine. Maybe.

With great power comes great responsibility.

I get a lot of these (I'm sure @accalia does too)

You overestimate the prerequisites for a subreddit.
And a subculture.

Honestly?
I'm surprised that isn't a subreddit.

Not even surprised.
Not even surprised at all.

@Fox TIL redit has their own version of fa-spin.

And I only found that out about that last week when someone else posted a screenshot of a selected thread.
On the topic of bad shortcuts: one of the most common browser shortcuts is Ctrl+W. In most Linux browsers, Ctrl+Q immediately quits the program. How did no one else see it was a bad idea?

I thought that used to be a standard shortcut in many Windows programs too? Maybe not so much anymore.

Only one I know of is FileMaker. You're thinking of Mac's Cmd+Q.

MaybeProbably. Weird though, I only have about 15 hours of experience on Mac, wonder why that would be one of the things that would stick?
-
@Tsaukpaetra Not web browsers, at least.

@anonymous234 Ctrl+Shift+W closes the window instead of the tab, and Ctrl is dangerously close to Shift...

Is it? I'm not sure I'd used it ever until I tried it to see what it did. Thank God for ctrl + shift + T
