There is no autocompletion, that's not realist. I never type "apt-get install nginx" I type "apt-g ins ngi"

#29Only slightly related, but what increased my code typing speed the most is this (AutoHotKey 2): ; CapsLock + J/K -> ( ) CapsLock & j::SendText "(" CapsLock & k::SendText ")" ; CapsLock + U/I -> [ ] CapsLock & u::SendText "[" CapsLock & i::SendText "]" ; CapsLock + L/: -> { } CapsLock & l::SendText "{" ; SC027 = physical ;/: key on a US keyboard CapsLock & SC027::SendText "}" ; CapsLock + O/P/M/E -> _ + - = CapsLock &…
I've tried this sort of thing but then your muscle memory works against you when you have to use a "normal" keyboard.
Even remapping Cap Lock to Control, which I do, trips me up for a few minutes when I need to work on any other computer that has not been set up that way.

#30"Movie Hacker" should perhaps include nmap and sshnuke [1] despite being a real command and a real skiddie exploit [2]. When that that first played in the movies (The Matrix) people in the bay area theaters were standing up and cheering. People not familiar with the tools were very confused as to what was going on.
