My favourite: "How I remapped my capslock key to be both ESC and Ctrl" -- maybe should have had VI in there too ;)
If a community can't laugh at itself, then it's surely doomed :D
- wlue 14y agoThe funny thing is that I know a few people who do this. (Holding Caps Lock = CTRL, tapping Caps Lock = ESC)
- demetrius 14y agoWhat an excellent idea! If I didn’t use CapsLock for choosing keyboard layout, I would have done this...
- djisjke 14y agoHow could we not think about this? It's genius! How is it done? Does your buddy use X, mac or where in the stack is the hack?
- wlue 14y agoOn OS X, you can use KeyRemap4Macbook (http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/ http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/) to turn on the feature with a bit of hackery. I have not figured out how to do it on Windows, but I imagine that it might be possible with AutoHotKey.
- hudibras 14y agoI'm slightly embarassed to admit that I remapped them after reading this: http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/a-modern-space-cadet/#controlescape http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/a-modern-space-cadet/#cont...
- why-el 14y agoI read about it in one of Steve Yegge's Emacs posts. Now I use it everywhere!
- xnxn 14y agoI got this working on my system (running X) with the help of a daemon (https://github.com/alols/xcape https://github.com/alols/xcape). $ setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps $ xcape Now I just have to flog my muscle memory into submission.
- crowding 14y agoyou know, just two weeks ago I mapped my spacebar to be both space and Meta.
- jgrahamc 14y agoI agree. It's important to be able to laugh at ourselves. One of the dangers of the startup world is people taking things way too seriously. I think that's why my 'double stealth' parody was such a hit a while back: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4166183 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4166183
- DanielBMarkham 14y ago"double stealth mode" is a classic. Very funny. I'm stealing that one.
- Swizec 14y agoLoved re-reading that. You should write a book ... although too many people would probably take it as serious advice and start following it :/
- indiecore 14y agoawww you changed "15 minutes of uninterrupted eye contact" to "One on One time". The eye contact thing was my favorite part :(
- goldfeld 14y ago"YC-backed startup is looking for a growth hacker to help disrupt people's dinners" cracked me up.
- kevinyun 14y agothis one did it for me as well!
- terhechte 14y agoI really thought he'd include something about vim: "Controlling VIM 2x fast with toes and my Fingers on two keyboards"
