  1. Game Developers & PMs:

    If your design for a driving game uses WASD controls, then you have already failed

    #PC #Gaming #wasd #fail

  2. I knew that there was #HJKL navigation and #WASD navigation, and some of the full-screen utilities in the #nosh toolset support both.

    I read that there's also QAOP, which alas contradicts the conventional use of 'q' that those utilities already have, and ESDF which alas overlaps WASD.

    One cannot be all things to all people, and it seems excessive to make this configurable somehow when they're only limited-use bonuses over just using the normal arrow keys.

    #ComputerGaming #ComputerKeyboards

  3. About 6 months ago, I started #typing #qwerty with the fingers in the proper positions rather than the left hand shifted one over (#WASD) or crossing rows.

    I felt stuck at ~70-80% for quite some time but I noticed that I'm very quick at typing in natural languages again just now; as quick as I remember being before or perhaps even better.

    Though I did also change my layout to #neoqwerty (qwerty but with neo layers) at the same time and started using layer-activated #HomeRowMods after #MRMCD25.

  4. it just struck me: #wasd should die in pain, the left-hand direction keys for #gaming should have been #esdf from the very beginning! sometimes engineers (as in: programmers) can be the stupidest people while being the most clever at the same time :-/
  5. @BonfireAtNight you might consider custom #mechanicalkeyboards with #ZMK or #QMK now :)

    I've been using CAPsLock for layout switch for ages on my #WASD keyboards; now as I moved to custom mechanical keyboards; #ZSAPlank -> #BlankSlate -> #Corne ; mapped bottom left key(third layer key on first two and shift on corne) to do it on tap as well.
    Though as now moving to #homerow, thinking I can utilize that key for something else :)

    P.S. check CAPs_Word on ZMK or QMK :)
