You are probably trolling, but just the same, I don't like it when people get downvoted without explanation. Ergonomically speaking, count the number of characters that need to be input by holding the shift key, and that will tell you which

I know, you've repeated that several times. "Without meaningful practical benefit" is what I'm referring to when I say you keep stating that you're missing the point. Just because you happen to not see the meaningful practical benefit doesn

The part about us being teachers more than engineers or programmers jumped at me. I've long held the belief that code should be written far more for those reading it than for the machine executing it. Your comment builds on that and made me

I guess this would be a good place to ask. I remember a while ago using a DNS provider that actually let you edit your zone file in a textarea, but I can't for the life of me remember which one it was. Does anyone know?

I tried leaving some feedback but apparently "Sorry your feedback could not be send[sic] :-( Please try again." Would be awesome to have a command like _ that opens the first result in the last batch. Otherwise, kudos, this is amazing!
