How I hate switching between my phone/computer and my partner’s phone/computer. We don’t even have the same keyboard! Everything is in a different place! So frustrating

As someone who rebinds the Capslock key to be a special modifier (mostly for switching windows), it freaks people out sometimes when I'm typing on their machine and then suddenly stART WRITING LIKE THIS

I wince with pain every time I want to exit a Windows terminal and only end up typing a ^D character.

I have a shortcut to switch keyboard layouts, and I switch layouts to find “weird symbols” all the time… I am almost unable to type on any other computer

Why not just keep a small keyboard with you that remembers your short cuts and macros?

It should be plug and play on mobile devices too if friends want you to type something there

I actually would love a portable version of that, as long as it unpacked to a 70% keyboard. Anything smaller would drive me crazy

I learned Autocad 14 on my own machine across a couple of months. Customized my input tablet and keyboard shortcuts to make my common tasks easier.

Then I went to a machine shop to have my widgets built, and tried to use their Autocad - and I was completely helpless, asking "how do you ... ?" for the most common tasks. I never bothered to customize key-shortcuts again, I don't work alone on a single machine enough to make it worthwhile.
