I mostly use hot keys that only require my left hand and keep the right on the mouse. It requires adjustments to posture to use two-handed hotkeys that are not only inefficient but uncomfortable on my back. Besides, I'm a lousy typist (even though I could play a Brahms concerto back in the day - go figure). Those of you who frequent irc are well aware of the word salad that sometimes comes off my fingers. ;) But yes, perhaps standard Devuan hotkeys would be a good idea for those who use them. golinux _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
