       | typing a couple of sentences?

       | angle to 0, which of course produces a straight line of text.
       | Then, when you want a newline, set the min and max angle to 90,
       | hit space, set both to 270, hit space, and then back to 0 again,
       | and proceed with typing.

       | Something about bringing order to this tiny little chaos made me
       | happy, I guess.

       | but also take such sharp turns

         | Well it sure did work for me. Are you using no-JS by any chance
         | ?
