       Keyboards and Clipboards

       Real quick notes tonight. First, there was some chatter on
       Mastodon earlier about terminal emulators leading me to remark how
       I'm still using konsole here on my laptop because I haven't quite
       cracked the nut on xterm clipboards. Well, that's not quite
       accurate anymore. I do have a decent copypasta going now via tmux
       locally using xsel and tmux-yank. It seems promising, so I may
       give xterm a go in the not-so distant future. It performs so much
       better with almost no memory footprint. That could be cool.
       
       Sad thing, though... tmux-yank says I should be able to copy
       & paste over remote terminal sessions if I have xsel on the remote
       and do a few other minor thingies. So far, no luck there. I would
       love to be able to cut & paste to SDF or at least the meta array,
       but that will have to wait. xterm first!
       
       Also, welcome to our happy gopher land to elsa [0]. She wrote
       about using dvorak at work and qwerty at home. I'm a dvorak user
       but didn't do it as smart as elsa. I transfered to this layout
       when I was in religious life and not using a computer for work.
       For that reason, I chose to switch completely all at once. As
       a result, I really can't type in qwerty anymore. She seems to be
       able to swap back and forth (even if it does take a paragraph to
       do it). That's a super-power as far as I'm concerned. I also agree
       that it's short sighted to continue teaching qwerty over dvorak,
       or even colemak. I understand the things that lead to that
       continuation, the things already in motion, but I think they're stupid.
       Learn to type in a way that makes sense and does the least damage.
       
       Rock on, elsa. Looking forward to more phosts!
