One of the best things I've done for myself is get a gaming mouse and map the extra buttons to things I commonly use: https://t.co/YXt1Q8rpAC
"Ctrl + Shift + `" allows me to create a todo list item in a single press with my thumb. (h/t: @fortelabs for recommending @culturedcode) https://t.co/U7gdihak85
@fortelabs @culturedcode "Alt + Cmd + Left" let's me resize + move my window into half of my screen. I can do this with multiple windows https://t.co/d1Mmp3deCf
And "ctrl + alt + left cmd + left" lets me move windows across my monitors. All with one hand (other hand is filming this!) https://t.co/2yG4Kkt5wB
@visakanv @fortelabs @culturedcode I was initially confused because I thought you were opening the todo list thing with your mouse, but why would that matter if you then need to type in it. Then I realized you were talking about both mouse & kb shortcuts.
@Malcolm_Ocean @fortelabs @culturedcode yup, you got it. i can use whichever feels more comfortable / requires less movement. eg command+w can still be faster if I'm closing a window right after typing something. but it's faster with a click if I'm scrolling about. sounds crazy but the microseconds saved ADD UP
@visakanv @fortelabs @culturedcode The savings with this stuff tend not to be in the form of time but in attention+flow. I ranted about this here: https://t.co/HJ8TXqJOdb
@visakanv @fortelabs @culturedcode Whoa, I don't think I've re-read this post since I learned about Perceptual Control Theory. It seems I basically intuited that the body must have a feedback control system thing going on! Go past-me!
"alt + cmd + left" allows me to move whatever I'm doing to the left half of my screen https://t.co/bG2zv7uYjE
@visakanv My window movements are actually isomorphic to this 4D version of 2048 (warning: GAME THAT MAY TAKE SEVERAL HOURS) https://t.co/GMJrYK2aog
