🗣️ Yap

I swear this page was not generated by Gippity, I just really like emojis and icon. By the way, did you know that the Command symbol (⌘) is called Place of Interest Sign?

I didn’t either until I tried to find it because I wanted to type it in my Zettelkasten to explain that ⌘ ` (backtick) is,

• the reverse of ⌘ Tab when you’re already in the window picker popup,
• also, it’s how you can shift between multiple windows of the same app.

Pretty cool, right? Have I mentioned my love for keyboard shortcuts?

Say what you want about Elon, but I think he got something pretty right when he first made his BCI company—Neuralink—and spoke on how the bottleneck between our interaction with a PC is the lag between thought and keystrokes. So, in my own way, I try to close that gap with keyboard shortcuts.

Anyways, welcome!
