Agreed. I like the idea but the key mappings are "off" by just enough to be jarring ("Don't make me think"), turning me off of using it.

I'm interested in the Gmail integration. Tried it with mutt and decided I didn't want to spend an afternoon figuring it out. 'Sides, I hear that Gmail is phasing out IMAP. :-?

The "navigat[ing] through latent space" sounds very interesting. Do you have any class docs going over what you teach, or other docs/sources to learn that?

What do you use for scanning and OCRing? I haven't found a solution that _doesn't_ make me want to throw it all out and just retype the doc by hand. I too am moving towards a flat hierarchy with dates after attempting Zettlekasten

Wait. You can jump to the directory `~/projects/foo/python/bar` by typing `<some_cmd> foo bar` in POB (plain ole' bash)?! That's the main feature I love about zoxide; it's be great if I could do it n

Change of scenery. Run into the neighbors. See what's available IRL but not on-line (daily specials, etc.). Exercise. Fresh air --for various levels of "fresh". See what's new on the high street.
