Recently, I have been increasingly associating Palantir with the 'Samaritan' from Person of Interest, an evil entity monitoring everyone in the digital world, collecting data, and selling it to authoritarian regimes.

I've always associated Palantir with Dark Knight Sonar vision system. This one might be working better than the fictional one I suppose.

It's such a disgusting modern day leviathan, I roll my eyes to the back of my head when people casually say you should buy their stock

I kind of regret my glove80 purchase after getting on the ortholinear ergo bandwagon to replace a microsoft sculpt. It's solidly built, happy to support and I'm using it to type this currently as a sunk cost fallacy... but similar concerns re: the inner thumb clusters being difficult to reach without repositioning palms. I've mapped them as: alt and space on the inner left and alt+space (power toys search) and layer on the inner right with another space on the right closer to my thumb. That's the biggest game changer vs. another keyboard: having backspace accessible with the left thumb and space with the right thumb is amazing. I also cannot reach the bottom outer 2/3 buttons with my pinkies and have 'medium' glove hands. Also for the cost, I was disappointed that one can't individually control/map the RGB LEDs so what is the bloody point of having them.

Glove80 is a decent ready-made product but it's simply too big. From my experience, sofle/silakka/lily58 with tenting solution worked better since they have smaller thumb cluster and surface but still takes advantage of same structure.

The ones I listed are well open sourced and modularized, you can print out parts as you go - trackpad, trackball, tilting pad, joystick whatever you want.

I tried an extension once that provided these navigation shortcuts for all the links on a page. It was really convenient but then I was on an admin page for our team and accidentally hit a couple keys that pressed some random button. The page was full of buttons that had irreversible effects which were executed without confirmation. Of course that’s an issue itself for the page but that’s kept me from trying this again.

The convenience those shortcuts provide also makes it concerningly easy to press something on accident. Much more likely than accidentally clicking something. Having extra leader keys or some other approach to reduce accidental presses would detract from the convenience…

Curious if anyone else has run into this or configured their setup in a way that maintains the convenience but reduces the accident likeliness. Holding a modifier key or adding leader keys actually does seem like I’d go a long way in reducing accidents with minimal hit to effectiveness

With Vimium, you can toggle the type to navigate mode so that it doesn't invoke unwarranted shortcut

Vimium does the same but it's just an extension so you can keep the goodies without switching the browser

I was eating sand when I was 9yo. Very impressive and please tell him it was fantastic work! You must be very proud of him.

Btw lots of answer was 69 but I think it's just coincidence..

If Fancy Zones is too basic for you, especially coming from Linux, you might like komorebi[1], a fully scriptable, bspwm-esque automatic tiling window manager for Windows 10+.

GlazeWM[1] and FancyWM[2] is also pretty nice, albeit not as stable as Fancyzone.
