@aachrisg@mastodon.gamedev.place yeah, it's just a caution. For myself, I only do this on git repos with everything I care about committed so any change is a revert away.

Yes, Emacs is quite capable of doing multi-file refactoring. You can do this and live to tell the tale.

This text on Chinese IMEs and seeing what contemporary implementations of it can do has shown me how much incremental completion and filtering has changed the game for computer input.

@oantolin@mathstodon.xyz @jameshowell@fediscience.org @minad@mastodon.world While I largely agree with the points made in the completion post, I wonder if there’s a need to introduce more jargon. Isn’t a completion framework just another name for an IME (input method editor)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_method

@mwichary@mastodon.online Again, I suspect it's because of the history of keyboard design decisions being emotionally driven in Cupertino. Also, I find it interesting to observe that a big change like the Touch Bar was later reverted because of Apple's insistence that it replace the row of function keys. I've always wondered why they didn't try to ship a configuration where _both_ the touch bar and function key row were there.

@mwichary@mastodon.online There's a bias to thinking "reduction of complexity" is even desirable. The larger design question I think is this: Is the keyboard an interface to an appliance or a general-purpose computer? Historically, Apple has elided this question in macOS, but has made a stronger opinion for the former with iOS/iPadOS. The conundrum for Cupertino has/is to make both ends of this spectrum happy using the same codebase.

@mwichary@mastodon.online Nice overview of function key and modifier history with your post, but you lost me with trying to narrow down existing modifier keys in the end. There's too much legacy and muscle memory to them. As to perhaps explaining Apple's inconsistent history with keyboard design, I think it's because so much of it was emotionally driven as Steve Jobs apparently hated function keys and most likely was the largest champion for the Touch Bar when it was a thing. (see https://trev.com/2016/11/fing-keys/) We still see to this day Apple's desire to reduce key count with the removal of the Esc key on iPadOS keyboards, which I find frustrating.
Apple having an inconsistent specification for Fn and Globe keys is something I work with daily being a Logitech Slim Folio keyboard user. Appreciate you calling this out.

@kylebshr@mastodon.social While Paku relies on crowdsourced air quality sensors, having temperature readings is something I use on the daily, especially being in San Francisco where microclimates are a fact of life. Thanks for making this app and for doing such a great job in doing so!
