- ynniv 10y agoThis is the proper response.
- dr1337 10y agoGotta use more emojis in my Swift code now.

- jakebasile 10y agoMaybe I can remap some emoji to Vim functions.
- stephenr 10y agoThe whole point is that you could have contextual 'buttons' that are appropriate for what you're doing in <App> But that sounds too much like an easy solution for Vim users, and what would they have to piss and moan about then?
- jakebasile 10y agoI already have contextual buttons. I remap keys to what I want, that's one of the main benefits of Vim's multi modal system. I don't need an expensive gimmick to do so.
- stephenr 10y agoSo, to summarise your point of view: Vim has contextual physical button remapping, and it's a positive thing. Apple adds a hardware + software feature to provide a context-sensitive multi-touch region allowing for multiple types of physical input & visual feedback in any application, and it's a gimmick? Gotcha.
- jakebasile 10y agoIt's a gimmick because this is already possible, even without yet another piece of glass to pay for and repair and that comes at the cost of physical keys It looks flashy and futuristic and cool, but it adds no value that could not be gained elsewhere, cheaper, with greater utility. I'm also not only talking about vim here. Nearly any PC game in the past two decades or more allows key rebinding. Many even allow macros. Most GUI IDEs offer the same. This isn't new. Lastly, you seem to want to characterize me as "pissing and moaning". Personal attacks won't get you anywhere with me.
- stephenr 10y agoOh right, silly me. I forgot that traditional individual physical keys can turn into sliders/scrubbers, display waveforms, show scrollable image previews contextually. > Nearly any PC game in the past two decades or more allows key rebinding. Right, I forgot that mapping X to Up is the same as showing a colour picker slider when you need to choose a colour.
- jakebasile 10y agoThey can't, but there's a big display in front of me that can show these things and I can see it without looking down. And yes, mapping game controls can be as simple as you describe or extremely complex, especially if you involve software outside the game such as the drivers for most gaming boards. You seem to be far too hostile for a conversation about a piece of glass on a computer. You should take a break.
- dguaraglia 10y agoI love the fact that they replaced Esc with... Siri. Now I can tell Siri to move me between normal and insert mode.
- jakebasile 10y ago"Hey Siri, escape colon percent s slash stupid slash courageous slash g enter" "That's an interesting question, Jake."
- cygned 10y ago"Hey Siri, ... ysiw(ea, param<Esc>"
- sly010 10y agoI guess it's time to remap CapsLock to ESC. Something we all should have done a long ago anyway.
- jakebasile 10y agoCaps is remapped to control though!
- sly010 10y agoTime to remap control to ESC then!
- tdkl 10y agoThe fact this is supposed to be some kind of a feature on a device marked "Pro" is a sign how deluded Apple has become.
