I can definitely sympathize with your viscereal frustration with getting a trivia expression entered, especially for an already proficient coder. This tradeoff is actually part of the subject of the most recent blog post [1]. Any kind of tool that presents a non-text-based experience (be that VIM, Photoshop, or whatever) does unfortunately require a little time studying the commands and building some muscle memory.

Thanks for the feedback!
