- mgoetzke 7y agoI actually plug in my nano key upside down while I am not using it. Inadvertent texting aside, I had real issues when programs like Lightroom suddenly started acting on dozens of random text shortcuts.
- bilalq 7y agoI've had vim open when on accidental presses before, and that always made me panic. The stuff on your screen can start jumping around like how movies always portray "hacking". If it wasn't for tools like gundo, I'd always be wondering if ran undo enough or if I went back too much. I now have long-press disabled by default, but I used to be in a state of constant worry.

You can remove the carriage return at the end of the sequence (so it doesn't hit ENTER for you). It's a bit silly that the default implementation is so non-user-friendly.
