   There's a "button" on the end of the rod. If you slide the pipe fully over and depress the button, your mouse will continue to travel horizontally.

   Your hands and forearms should be hitting the keyboard at an angle, due to the way your elbows hang outside your shoulders. Don't bend the wrists to make your hands go perfectly vertical; that's a major RSI concern. At that angle,

   I've always wanted to buy the Japanese version of my favorite keyboard, and remap the extra thumb keys to modifiers: http://i.imgur.com/uRI0joS.jpg

   Imagine a long rod. Slide a shorter pipe onto it. You move on the X-axis by sliding the pipe left/right on the rod. Move on the Y-axis by rolling the pipe. Click by pushing the entire contraption down.

   My wife uses one of these, and it has completely eliminated her RSI. Great product.

   I'm still waiting to buy a mechanical keyboard with a TrackPoint. Until then, the ThinkPad external USB keyboard [1] is perfect. Its big delete key is great, too. [1] http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails&#

   There's an easy fix for the "staggered" layout problem: type "Z" with ring finger, "X" with middle finger, "C" with index, etc. It's beyond me why the "Z with little finger" techni

    If you offer paid downloads from a private repository, preferably with an integrated licensing system, I'll be your first customer.

    I don't understand why 15-second "undo send" isn't default behavior.

    This might be true, and something I will definitely play with if I re-up. When the person clicks through to the Mac App Store they're immediately shown the real app icon and description, which is what I was going for.

    On the newer Macbook Air and Retina Macbook Pro models, Eject has been replaced with Power. No optical drive. (This app does actually work with your power _button_, by the way. I suppose some people might find that useful).

    I never find myself actually using that shortcut, despite knowing it exists. I end up repositioning the cursor, then backspacing. Whereas the power key is in the same muscle-memory space as my external keyboard's Delete key, which I use a
