I wouldn't copy this unless you know for sure this is how you want your system configured.
- akmarinov 6y agoIf you use these as they're written, you'll end up with a Brussels timezone, so yeah - definitely edit them beforehand.
- bengale 6y agoOne hour closer to quittin' time!
- linux2647 6y agoOr nine if you live on US west coast ;)
- rPlayer6554 6y agoSo if you have an 8hr work day does that mean your time left to work underflows and the company has to do an hour of work for you?
- chrisseaton 6y agoPresumably everyone thinks their own defaults are 'sensible', otherwise they wouldn't be using them. I think the most sensible defaults are those that come out of the box, rather than spending time tweaking things.
- bengale 6y ago> Presumably everyone thinks their own defaults are 'sensible', otherwise they wouldn't be using them. Maybe, although I set my caps lock up to be escape when tapped and control when held, I don't think that would be sensible for many people at all unless the knew why they wanted it. > I think the most sensible defaults are those that come out of the box, rather than spending time tweaking things. This is probably true, I find it very difficult to use anyone else's system since my config is non-standard.
- matwood 6y ago> I set my caps lock up to be escape Which was the only sensible thing to do when Apple dropped the ESC key ;) I'm so used to caps == ESC now, it takes me a minute to realize what's wrong when I'm on a new system/keyboard.

- Nullabillity 6y agoCompare how much time you spend using your own system vs others'.
- chrisseaton 6y agoIf you learn the default, it doesn't matter how much time you spend on any given system. I don't get why people make themselves less portable by becoming dependent on non-defaults.
- bengale 6y agoI do it because it makes my life easier on the system I use 99% of the time.
- matwood 6y agoThe default is reaching to the top left corner of the keyboard. I know the default and it's terrible if someone uses vim. In macOS it's trivial to remap the caps lock key to ESC system wide through the built in preferences. So while it's not that way out the box, it's certainly in the realm of default configurations any user might make on their machine.

- gowld 6y agoMost people never think about the defaults.
- kube-system 6y agoSpeak for yourself, I'm well aware that many of my preferences are esoteric. :)
- cush 6y agoExactly. Whoever wrote this is a minimalist. I want a hot pink animated focus indicator. I feel like I'm a sensible person, but after reading this script... I just don't know anymore.
- throw0101a 6y ago> I wouldn't copy this unless you know for sure this is how you want your system configured. A before and after picture (video?) for each would be helpful in making a decision in each case. Also, is there a revert-to-defaults script?
