Doesn't work with desktop computers sadly.

Why do you believe it will take 10 years?


> Ah it seems that there is this program called keynav.

Yep, I wrote this as a direct clone of the original keynav, so I can use the same config file on both operating systems.

> For browsers I love to use these pentadactyl/vimium/... extensions. Would there be anything similar for reguar desktop applications. I get that it would be a huge effort to support all the different toolkits though.

You can bind arbitrary keys to control the grid, and the default bindings are vim-like, but it only goes down to the window level. Interesting idea though, probably doable with LD_PRELOAD stuff.


Nice of you to keep the same format as the original.

Unfortunately keynav doesn't seem to be working all that well in Ubuntu 20.20, I am a bit interested in fixing this somehow.

The LD_PRELOAD approach might be a good idea actually.

I do have some further ideas on how to do this and some practical use cases as well.

I assume you mean Ubuntu 20.10? I tried it and it works fine for me in an Ubuntu 20.10 VM. Are you using Wayland perhaps?

Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss it, could be a fun project. My contact info is on https://lesderid.net.


keynavish (and the original keynav) use a different cursor movement system, as they work with a grid that you can recursively split/move to be centered around the target position, but yes, the end result is more or less the same as the qmk feature.

One advantage you get with this method is that you can e.g. bind a key that sets the grid size and position to match the active window, which you obviously can't do in keyboard firmware (example: https://lesderid.net/keynavish-demo.webm).


AFAIK, Switzerland and Belgium are very different.

Belgium is culturally very divided: the two major cultures (Dutch-speaking and French-speaking) are hardly mixed, especially in recent times, with the exception of Brussels.

From conversations with a Swiss friend, I gather that the cultures in Switzerland are much more mixed in daily life.


I live in German-speaking and Switzerland and the division between here and French-speaking Switzerland is massive. There's a reason there's a whole "trench" named after it [0].

I didn't mean to imply Switzerland and Belgium are similar.

I was saying that they are countries with national identities that are heavily influenced by their neighbors.


Would you mind sharing this?

Thanks!


I pay for additional Google Drive storage.


Do you pay full price? For do you think that price is subsidized by Google's ability to harvest your online activity?

I suggest you list to the link above. You're not the customer.


In fact I believe I do. I just checked it again, and they have exactly the same (or higher) prices as major competitors (MEGA, Dropbox, OneDrive, Backblaze).


One product is not a business model. Please take a moment to update your software:

If this is the case, the simple bitcoin scam might make sense as a quick way to cash in before an obvious exploit is patched? Compared to the speculation of hidden agendas at least.

I feel like a bug report might make more sense in that case though...


Yep, that won't be a coincidence. Also a bit relieving because this means that probably there was no access to DMs etc. before the rollout of this feature.


This would be sweeter if TwitterDev was now compromised.


As a former power user of Inbox, Gmail.

It has a ton of icons and labels and whatnot that for me provide only clutter. They never completely integrated the 'tasks' or 'notes' or whatever they used to call it either. It's also much slower to load.
