What's more interesting to me is that some people are okay with a lookup on click but not a lookup on hover. It seems a difference in affirmative intent exists between hover and click; and more generally perhaps categories of user actions should be formalized into degrees of affirmation that could mitigate errors like this.
- justinclift 9y agoHovering can be a part of the everyday copy-n-paste action though, for selecting the text to copy.
- EnigmaticLion 9y agoIf i use iTerm's autocopy feature (e.g. that the selected text automatically goes to the clipboard) and rarely press CMD+C then i'm safe? Or should i start changing my passwords? Since i usually generate passwords with `pwgen`, then copy with double click.
- justinclift 9y agoSorry, no idea personally. I don't use iTerm, I was just pointing out that hovering is a common user action (due to cut-n-paste). :)
