Cool, thinking how can use it in programming, or other conditions?

#12Have you checked how much faster this makes your typing? I can imagine it speeds it up quite a bit

#14This is neat! I've thought about doing something similar with my shell history to help me figure out which shell aliases I should create.
> I've thought about doing something similar with my shell history to help me figure out which shell aliases I should create. Same here, I end up doing `h | grep "(something about the command)` a lot to get commands with specific options, etc. and think "damn i should really make an alias for this" every single time, but never get around to it
How about fzf? https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

#15This is cool but I see so many posts in HN about “hacks” that increase productivity/save time that it makes me anxious.
I don’t know if it’s our field or just life these days but I would really love a more relaxed approach to work (or life in general?). It feels like I’m in a race and struggling to keep up with the pack.

It's not healthy to always be running around like a headless chicken. I want well-paced work to become normal.

#17I did this sort of thing quite a lot early in my career, but stopped quite a long time ago. The problem is that I started using multiple machines running different OSes, and not all of those machines are "mine", so I couldn't have these sorts of specializations everywhere.
That turned a positive into a negative when using machines that didn't have these optimizations.

#18Neat! Reminds me of stenography keyboards

I haven’t done what you or the author have, but one workaround this is using something like QMK or ZMK. Especially the Leader key on QMK.
Thanks for the post though, I need to do some analysis of my own typing habits to automate them
