As an example, tapping the keys "tges" with your left hand will output "this". See how the keys correspond spatially on the keyboard? [G -> H] [E -> I]

People in this topic might be interested in a project of mine: one-handed typing using your existing two-handed muscle memory. Basically the muscle memory you use to type "F" is the same as typing "J"; index finger, home row. Your left hand

Critically, though, middle-clicking the Compose button doesn't work (Chrome, OS X).

The Accessibility API is excluded from the Mac App Store under the new sandboxing rules, for example. Most people won't notice. But it's incredibly inconvenient for those people whose 3rd party accessibility tools give them the ability to u

The Mac App Store. Consistent sales of my $8 app EdgeCase and the $3 Reddit Notifier. Plus the more expensive One-Hand Keyboard. In my experience it's much easier to price higher on the Mac App Store compared to iOS. Especially when you're

I think the best design would be to bounce down upon the first number (99.999% of cases) but then allow for the entering of numbers if the user manually clicks back up and enters a number as their name (0.001%).

It would be cool, if you start typing numbers * into the first field, it automatically switched focus to the proper second field and put the CC numbers there. Just made the mistake myself, started typing the example CC number and only afte

Not if you are sending as a @gmail account from a different @gmail account. No way to remove your `Sender:` header in that case. Ridiculous, as you can easily fix it for any other @domain.

In gmail, you'll be able to see the person's "secret" main email address in the `Sender:` field after clicking `Show Original`. The real annoyance is Outlook. If someone responds to that email via Outlook/Exchange, the reply will be sent `T

The worst is their abysmal "On Behalf of:" handling when sending as an @gmail.com address from another @gmail.com address. There is no way around having your "main" email end up in plaintext in the header of every email you send as the "ano

Almost all aspects of a physical object are "functional", so this is a strange distinction to make. For example, the rich Corinthian leather of a desk calendar functions as an arm rest and also functions as a binding mechanism for the calen

Right, Snow Leopard was a great upgrade[1]. Lion was a major downgrade. [1] Except for the abysmal changes to Exposé. Luckily there was a hack to get the Leopard version back: http://superuser.com/questions/118424/old-leopard-expose-on-...

You will be able to install a working version, provided you can find a link to it. The only "real" download of Chrome is the current version, so installing that file won't work. But if you find an older version via a 3rd-party archive, it

They changed things up a year or two ago. SERO +$10 gets you any iPhone/Android/Blackberry/etc., and then an additional +$10 for any phone with 4g/LTE.
