FreeCAD has an sketch [1] workbench with constrains. Once it's draw, you can extrude it, pad it, apply the geometric boolean operations, add/substract to create complex parts [2] from the result. [1] https://wiki.freec

Lets write again. I'm not advocating in anyway for using caps or for the opposite. I'm used to caps, so my typing flow needs it. When I have used keyboards without caps, I feel them wrong. (same happens when I use a non quer

Right, typing multiple caps in a row was mostly a way to place emphasis at the time of mechanical typewriters. When there was only a font, no italics, and two colors (if you where lucky). Anyway, it's obsolete for modern usage https:&

Right, the world has changed in the last 40 years. And you have developed memory muscle for Fn+Tab for the same purpose. Great. But some oldies like me, feel when a keyboard lacks some keys, and I notice when other people have also being tr

No, you don't need caps lock for this text, because there aren't two continuous uppercase keys. My comment was about my memory muscle. I developed it in a training a long ago. I feel my typing unnatural when I don't have

Typewriting was an skill in the XX century. In order to reach high words/min, you need to develop memory muscle and avoid typing errors. Those days, a single typing error means repeat a full page. With modern word processor that have d

Right, it was an skill of the old days, when typewriting was done for copying papers and transcribing in mechanical or Selectric machines. Note also there are two shift. They were designed to use with the opposite hand to the key being typ

Nice article, i'm sorry you have developed RSI at a young age. I was trained when I was a teenager near 40 years ago. I don't keep those training materials, but I will try to summarize it. I think most of the materials are now in

Keyboardio Atreus only have one shift, one control and a tiny space-key and return-key. Some positions that need shift/control in the left hand will be forced. Keyboards use two shift/control to alleviate the stress. Traditional t

Some people always type in lowercase and use vim "U" to uppercase word/sentence/paragraph. A collage of mine do that. There is a workflow for everyone. If your workflow don't need that caps key, remap it. But in my

I've been using vi since 1985 (Xenix vi), and I have never in the need of remapping caps to ESC. But I don't press ESC with the little finger, I use the ring finger. Maybe I use the ring finger because the keyboards of the 80s wer

I don't say there is a silver bullet. But there is tendency on people not trained in typewriting to have RSI. And the capslock remapping is a clue of people not being trained. Maybe the training forces to have the right siting position

My two cents on the RSI and fast typing. I learned typing 40 years ago, in the same way as secretaries do, with a real mechanical typewriter (an Olivetti one), and following an standard typewriter course for 2 months. My parents and relativ

Another of the most common errors is to lie or to exaggerate in a side work experience. If it's catch, it will jeopardize the interview. A common example is to fill the CV with buzzwords and when asked about them, the knowledge varies
