sorcyressSouhm, yeah. Sorcy = helladork.
No, seriously, I am geeking out about how cool it is to be able to do the whole computer thing just with my keyboard and not have to use my mouse at all, what is wrong with me, damnit, damnit!
Because, I mean, it was cool enough when I finally started seriously using apple-tab to switch programs. "Oh, I am typing a livejournal entry but Keira just said something I want to reply to in IM? No problem!" But just now, I learned that I can open chats with people in Adium without using my mouse at all -- apple-/ to open the contacts list, arrows to navigate the list, enter to open a new chat with a new person. Holyshit, so easy.
Soyeah. Now all I *really* need is an easier way to swap from tab to tab in Safari (c'mon Apple, shift-alt-twiddle-arrow? what the hell is *wrong* with you, that's four keys! Get it down to two, bitte.) and I will be a happyKat.
(Or, I mean, I could start using Firefox. Which I probably should do anyways, as it's got a handful of better features that I'm too lazy to go hunting for in Safari --ability to have multiple search boxes, for instance, and not just google.)
Alsoalso, I apparently need to learn Dvorak, so I can train myself to stop hitting twiddle-Q instead of twiddle-W. Computers are weird.
....
Yeah, that's all. Go play The World's Hardest Game, which I'm sure *isn't*, but is tricky enough to be annoying and addictive and I'm stuck SO BAD on level ten, but I'm getting better, and I've only died eighty times on this level. Hate.

MOOP!

Not about keyboards

Mouse usage is optional.
