It takes a lot of energy to move from the keyboard to the mouse and back constantly, gross.

I wish the ThinkPad nub was more popular.

If you want to get better with the nub use it to play StarCraft brood war.

Actually crazy idea: spacebar trackpad.

[–] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Moving vertically would be a pain

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago

There's no reason the space bar needs can't be taller

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Please no I cannot even imagine the horrors that would arise from this

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Please no.

Remember the BlackBerry Key2? Entire keyboard was a trackpad. Genius.

But it takes nearly no energy to stay on the mouse.

[–] chitak166@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yes, that's why I've adapted my workflow to be as mouse-centric as possible.

Almost feels like I'm using my PC as a smartphone with a keyboard.

I'm sure that works great for doing nothing productive

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

Never seen a movie huh?

You think those are made in the Terminal?

Gotta save energy to hit the gym later

And even less if you can script it.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 9 points 9 months ago

That’s another nice thing about the CLI: Once you figure out how to do something making a script is usually as easy as getting the commands out of your history.

I’ve yet to see any GUI automation tool that’s as easy to use.

I like trackpads because I don't have to move my whole arm to use them.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Bruh, high sensitivity mouse.

I can twitch and my cousin flies off the screen

[–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 9 months ago

I meant to get to it, but sure, let your cousin fly.
