By the way I've actived the swipe gesture to navigate forward and back in the Finer, but it requires THREE fingers, whereas Chrome requires TWO fingers

Not sure what is up with my typing today
I finally installed Lion and Safari seems way faster.
Also WHO thought autocorrect wa a good idea in a desktop OS? I almost sent out a completely unintelligible email today

(it read something like "should we get rolling on the nob cab arp?")

It's terrible but I imagine a lot of people like it. Probably my favorite new Lion feature is being able to hold down a key to choose an accented version of it.
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
Didn't realize you could do that, how do you select the accent from the options displayed?

(I use that all time on iPhone, but there it's obvious. Also I'm on my phone now so I can't test.)
Each one has a little number above it; hit the number

(Years ago I used to know all of the windows keyboard "shortcuts" for accents—alt-0236 etc. terrible.)
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 16:27 (twelve years ago) link
I know! And Macs haven't been much better. What was it for an é, Option 3 and then E? Ridiculous.
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 16:29 (twelve years ago) link
its just option-e and then e

Ya, not as bad as windows but not great. Still better than trying to type in English on a French keyboard tho

Oh I'm thinking of how to type a hash symbol with an English keyboard, option-3, which is fucking stupid

Guy maybe we should start a blog where we write about how Apple can improve its products
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 13 March 2012 16:37 (twelve years ago) link
option-3 on an english (american) keyboard is the pound sign, hash is shift-3

safari doesn't crash all the time like firefox does, for me (ff is seriously completely fucked, if I leave it up for more than an hour it starts eating up all my CPU time). Chrome does too sometimes, I think it's all flash related though.
― akm, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 17:19 (twelve years ago) link
the "starts eating all CPU time" thing sounds like the Flash plugin

haha, i just tried to type "AYOOOOOOOOOOO" in a chat window and i got the accent-picker

ok i turned off spelling autocorrect but it is still autocorrecting some things? like "reso" turned into "redo"? maybe this is a setting in mail specifically i have to turn off?

Yeah this is reversed in England, which has a logic to it, but c'mon the hash symbol is too common a character these days to be hidden behind a control key like that #fml

OK, I just had to look that up and it's hilarious weird. Does the UK need all that Northern European stuff?

the main problems are the 3#£ issue and skinny return key

Oh, never mind, I was looking at what purported to be the full-size UK layout and I think it was not.

Is this the badness? That lolinverted enter key is hateful.

ja that's it. i do like the tilde key on them but otherwise they are pretty bad.

Hate natural scrolling. Maybe it would feel natural if I hadn't been using computers for 20+ years, but I have so it's frustrating as hell
