@mwichary Here's another circular mouse for you. This one came with the AT&T 5620 terminal (I used one in grad school back in the day). https://www.ebay.com/itm/265518759380

Wow. https://youtu.be/E48Q1-Ex64c?is=sHRVpoYslAT_Oo13 #SanFrancisco

Updated post - added vc-git-grep, eglot-rename, and xref-find-references-and-replace. Thanks to @hl@social.lol and @etenil@toot.cat for their input!

@mitten @pelican Nice! I'm also a Pelican user. Here's my blog - http://yummymelon.com/devnull/

@mwichary@mastodon.online Nice overview of function key and modifier history with your post, but you lost me with trying to narrow down existing modifier keys in the end. There's too much legacy and muscle memory to them. As to perhaps explaining Apple's inconsistent history with keyboard design, I think it's because so much of it was emotionally driven as Steve Jobs apparently hated function keys and most likely was the largest champion for the Touch Bar when it was a thing. (see https://trev.com/2016/11/fing-keys/) We still see to this day Apple's desire to reduce key count with the removal of the Esc key on iPadOS keyboards, which I find frustrating. Apple having an inconsistent specification for Fn and Globe keys is something I work with daily being a Logitech Slim Folio keyboard user. Appreciate you calling this out.

@ia Plain text tools like Org mode and iA Writer have shown how expressive and malleable plain text can be. For over a decade, plain text has been the medium I've worked in, using Office-suite tools mostly as a form of export.

@justkwin@toot.community I won't be there but you are a legend. Thanks for all the guidance you have given over the years!

@arstechnica@mastodon.social RIP Robert Tinney. There was a time I really looked forward to getting an issue of Byte in the mail.

@cstross@wandering.shop Adding fuel to the fire: "Trump-Kennedy Center".

@aachrisg@mastodon.gamedev.place yeah, it's just a caution. For myself, I only do this on git repos with everything I care about committed so any change is a revert away.

@kentpitman@climatejustice.social Thanks for posting this. This seems especially notable as 2026 is the 50 year mark for #Emacs.

@cwebber@social.coop Side note for EWW users; I wrote a Transient menu for EWW not long ago as part of the Casual package. https://kickingvegas.github.io/casual/EWW-Usage.html

@oantolin@mathstodon.xyz This text on Chinese IMEs and seeing what contemporary implementations of it can do has shown me how much incremental completion and filtering has changed the game for computer input. https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262047517/the-chinese-computer/ @jameshowell@fediscience.org @minad@mastodon.world

@oantolin@mathstodon.xyz @jameshowell@fediscience.org @minad@mastodon.world While I largely agree with the points made in the completion post, I wonder if there’s a need to introduce more jargon. Isn’t a completion framework just another name for an IME (input method editor)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_method

@mousebot@todon.nl C-q C-j to insert a linefeed for interactive input is the only way I know how to deal with multi-line search and replace in Emacs.

@djlink@mastodon.gamedev.place Happened to be reading this today when I saw this, seemed related. Excerpt from "Imperial San Francisco: Urban Power, Earthly Ruin", Gray Brechin.

@mark On par with "vinyls" instead of "records".

@psc@mastodon.social @jbaty@social.lol Anju is a Korean word for food served with alcohol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anju_(food)

@psc@mastodon.social @jbaty@social.lol Just word association with menu and trying to go for a concise and distinctive name.

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange I had the pleasure of being at the viewing of this documentary at the Computer History Museum. So many legends in the room. https://youtu.be/jCur7w2VauI?si=G2RowHE7ZhlcalWy

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange Cautionary tale. Folks in the Valley knew what was coming, but who had all the pieces to make it real…

@mwichary@mastodon.online There's a bias to thinking "reduction of complexity" is even desirable. The larger design question I think is this: Is the keyboard an interface to an appliance or a general-purpose computer? Historically, Apple has elided this question in macOS, but has made a stronger opinion for the former with iOS/iPadOS. The conundrum for Cupertino has/is to make both ends of this spectrum happy using the same codebase.

@scalzi Oof.

@kylebshr@mastodon.social While Paku relies on crowdsourced air quality sensors, having temperature readings is something I use on the daily, especially being in San Francisco where microclimates are a fact of life. Thanks for making this app and for doing such a great job in doing so!

@etenil@toot.cat TIL. Have no idea how to use them though. 😏

@nikitonsky@mastodon.online Accurate.

@pixelscience Let me know whenever you're ready to move over to Emacs.

@mwichary@mastodon.online Again, I suspect it's because of the history of keyboard design decisions being emotionally driven in Cupertino. Also, I find it interesting to observe that a big change like the Touch Bar was later reverted because of Apple's insistence that it replace the row of function keys. I've always wondered why they didn't try to ship a configuration where _both_ the touch bar and function key row were there.
