Why not parentheses on foot pedals?
- convery 6y agoSpeaking of, random advice: If you're doing remote meetings a $3 pedal for push-to-talk is awesome.
- BlackFingolfin 6y agoWhere do you get such a $3 pedal? I only found ones starting at maybe $10, and they seem to be crap based on reviews.
- cestith 6y agoI had a buddy once upon a time who wrote APL or some dialect of it in Emacs. He had two keyboards hooked up to one system and had two foot pedals. IIRC one was Meta and the other Super.
- DonHopkins 6y agoBecause foot pedals are for double double bucky bits! ;) Double Bucky (C) 1978 by Guy L. Steele, Jr. (Sung to the tune of "Rubber Duckie") Double bucky, you're the one! You make my keyboard lots of fun Double bucky, an additional bit or two: (Vo-vo-de-o!) Control and Meta side by side, Augmented ASCII, nine bits wide! Double bucky, a half a thousand glyphs, plus a few! Oh, I sure wish that I Had a couple of bits more! Perhaps a Set of pedals to Make the number of Bits four: Double double bucky! Double bucky, left and right OR'd together, outta sight! Double bucky, I'd like a whole word of Double bucky, I'm happy I heard of Double bucky, I'd like a whole word of you! (For those of you who are interested, the term "bucky bits" comes from Niklaus Wirth, known as "bucky" to friends, who suggested that an extra bit be added to terminal codes on 36 bit machines for use by screen editors.)
