        I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

              It was presented to me as a true quote from a teenager; I don't know if it is true: "I can't reach all the keys of this keyboard with my thumbs!"

                  I almost fell of my chair when I read the comment from the OP asking for help in typing faster in the referenced post - Suggestions in text area[^] So the solution given was -

                  Quote:

                  Press ESC and it will ignore all it's suggestions - then you can press TAB without an insert. Or you can disable Intellisense in "Tools ... Options .... Text Editor ... Your prefered language ... Intellisense ... Show completion list after a character is typed"

                  The comment received back was -

                  Quote:

                  u know i wanna type fast but the esc bottom is far away from my fingers any better idea for that?

                  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

                        During a demo using pretty much the latest technologies, I once got the feedback "This new software feels like we're going back to the 80's! We've got touch screens now and we're going back to mouses?!" "No, you'll get touch screens, but we didn't have one available for this demo." "Oh, well in that case it looks really neat!" Mouses are so 80's :D

                            How quaint. :-) I've always thought it's unfortunate that the scene could've been so much more realistic if Scotty had at least struggled a bit at first to figure out whatever application that was. Unless Starfleet is still using that same program, same version, on an Apple II, and Scotty's already familiar with it...? But hey, since when does Hollywood make realistic use of computers?

                                A small incident regarding this from my junior developer days, in the late nineties: Our team had developed a Windows application, but somehow the screen used to vanish when ESC was pressed. Our manager came for a hands-on demo session, and we kept praying that his fingers should not go to the ESC button. Luckily this ESC was far away, and the demo went well, and our team escaped from an ESC button fiasco. Later our team fixed the issue.

                                  They were writing an article for school on the health benefits of a pESCatarian diet. A bit of confusion had them think ESC should be typed as a single unit with a single key. This was never going well no matter where the key had been located.
