Changing music on Spotify doesn't work for me 80% of the time. Physical keyboard worked 100% of the time.
I hate the touchpad greatly. 0 benefits to me but tons of annoyances. I keep touching random buttons I never intended. I cannot press the correct button without looking (used to put volume to really low in bed)
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoI don’t mean to belittle any issues you have, but > I cannot press the correct button without looking does this seem like a really really minor problem to anyone else? I can’t imagine using function keys often enough that this would actually become annoying.
- eCa 6y agoWith physical F-keys (correctly grouped in fours) it’s very easy to hit F5 for example, without looking. (Yes, I use a Windows keyboard with my work Mac.)
- dijit 6y agoI disagree, I don't look at my keyboard at all, my head doesn't tilt down during the whole day for any reason other than I want it to. Adding something that changes the ergonomics of that should be treated as being a high price, so the benefits should be huge.
- tpxl 6y agoDebugger commands in IntelliJ are tied to F7 (step inside), F8 (step over), F9 (run) and looking down to figure out where to press again and again is a big hassle.
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoCan you not bind those to any shortcut?
- tpxl 6y agoI could, but then I'd possibly have to unbind other shortcuts, I couldn't use another person's workstation and I'd have to also remap on other sane systems I use or learn two sets of shortcuts.
- ponyous 6y agoIt is a minor problem to me. But it’s a step backwards on a machine that is 5 years newer. It’s enough to add to my annoyance.
