If you are editing a command line and there are some characters that could be reused (eg changing an IP address from 192.168.65.197 to 192.168.65.176 where the 7 could be reused) how much effort do you expend:

@Unixbigot Of course in Australia the "keyboas" are technically keypythons, because we have no native boas and it's illegal to import them. Pythons are just as good at data entry though.
