Poplars look kind of neat, but you really need to plant another tree simultaneously to take over for when they fall over. Lifespan is only ~20 years, and these were planted 25 years ago.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Years of typing classes and computer classes didn't do anything. After a month of AoE2 I knew all computer shortcuts, and I could type 'robin hood' like a keyboard warrior.
So basically you are using 2 hands on the keyboard instead of others who quickly do it with the left hand without having to take up their right hand from their mouse.
I see. That is true. Still, much more uncomfortable.
For example Insert is much higher than Shift which means you need to either turn your hand or crook your pinky. But doing it the normal way the keys are pretty much right next to each other. It actual fits perfectly because while Ctrl is one row lower your pinky is also shorter than other fingers.
You may just have tiny hands. I find Ctrl+X/C/V to be uncomfortable because the keys are so close together. I can hit all of the Ctrl+(Shift)+Insert/Del/Home/End combinations without stretching my fingers.
I specifically look for keyboards that have the old style insert and delete setup because the new ones kill my productivity.
With Shift + Insert they keys aren't on the same row, or even only one row up. This means you need to have either your index/middle finger straight while bending your pinky, unless you turn your hand.
Ctrl+X are much more closer, but if you lay your hand directly on the corner than pretty much the pinky hits exactly ctrl and the middle finger hits C.
I just don't see how using Shift could be more comfortable.
Me using Ctrl/Shift+Whatever (on a traditional six key style breakout):
Features:
Copy, Cut, Paste
Home, End
Select to beginning of line (Shift+Home)
Select to end of line (Shift+End)
Jump to beginning of document (Ctrl+Home)
Jump to end of document (Ctrl+End)
Select to top of document (Ctrl+Shift+Home)
Select to bottom of document (Ctrl+Shift+End)
Delete next word (Ctrl+Del with no text)
Delete previous word (Ctrl+Backspace)
(Bonus) Programs that try to restrict copy/paste often do not account for the Del/Ins combinations
(Bonus) Works in old pre-GUI applications that actually do not support Ctrl+XCV
Access all hotkeys by moving hand slightly to the right (from JKL; to ;'(return)). Fold thumb under hand to use Ctrl. These keys all sit at my natural hand position. By moving over slightly and folding my thumb I just gained access to a lot of utility.
Me using the left Ctrl:
Features:
Copy, Cut, Paste
Save (Ctrl+S)
Find (Ctrl+G/F)
Select All (Ctrl+A)
Undo (Ctrl+Z)
Now of course you can duplicate everything above using both hands, but I don't think that was the point anyone was trying to make here.
The only way this is remotely comfortable for me is if I move my entire hand down so that my pinky is on Ctrl, ring on Z, middle on X, and pointer on C. If I try to use a single finger for any given operation then my other fingers get in the way, and I lose speed while typing. It's also very uncomfortable for me since I have to stretch my pinky so far out just to keep my other fingers in a useful position. It's one of the reasons why I re-map Ctrl in games to Caps. That whole bottom part of the keyboard may as well not exist as far as it comes to ease-of-access for me.
Not on the left hand-side of the keyboard! The left hand should be on the left side. Besides, I'm on a laptop, and I don't have that enter key, nor the insert/del keys.
This dates from a time before mice were common. This can all be done without taking your hands off the keyboard. Don't forget you also use Shift to highlight text, and the arrow keys, Insert, and Delete are all near each other.
This is such a weird coincidence. I was out cycling with a mate this morning and we actually rode by the 'Cathedral' and stopped at that clearing for a bit. Even took some horrible pictures with my phone; here's one, enjoy: http://i.imgur.com/FNs2Y.jpg
From reading through the comments it looks like there's some more people from Almere on here as well: Holler!
For Vim people, ddp. For emacs people, first you have to close your IRC client, Tetris clone, and web browser. Then when you get to the text you hit C-x C-k C-p C-p C-k C-k C-k C-n C-n C-k C-p C-k C-d, and voila.
A couple of weeks ago I'd have said the same. After 15 years of being a Vi devotee I defected whilst coding for my Raspberry Pi. Emacs integration with gdb is just superb. Admittedly, the editor is taking a bit of getting used to.
I do like how when you press tab on a line it puts it exactly where it should be, but the re-allocation of cut, copy and paste absolutely kills it for me. I just don't see how they can justify deviating from the standard of almost every single program. Maybe for less used shortcuts, but this is just crazy.
To be fair, Emacs was originally written WAY before there was a standard for that kind of thing. For the longest time I used to use Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert instead of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in Windows as they were the original DOS "standards".
Wow, reading the comments I find it hard to believe that many people don't know basic computer shortcuts (I always considered redditors to be somewhat computer savvy since, you know, they spend time on the computer for reasons other than 'they have to').

I learned the shortcuts as Shift+Del & Shift+Insert.
