    OK, fun. What can we do to mitigate this until it gets patched?

    I'm generally in favour of the joycons as a concept. They make multiplayer party games a breeze. But the execution in the Switch 1 is flawed. They're on the small side, and general…

    I know it's a typo but this: > what more could a shell? Is quite good. It could almost be the tag line for fish shell.

    The fundamental mistake is in trying to take input for one purpose and transform it for another purpose. Just have the user fill in an additional field for their name as it appears…
