It was not about how robotic it is, but about how fast it is. Hedemonstrated it at 3x speed for us, but when he was using it just forhimself, it was 5x.
I meant ergonomic as in easy to type.
Ah. Of course that depends on the keyboard: on the French (not CanadianFrench) keyboard, / is shifted, but * requires right Alt.
I don't understand what the benefit of the alt text "Python" is here.Presumably if you are reading a document with embedded Python, you areexpected to, and want to, read the Python, just as if you have an (English)document with embedded Greek, you probably want to read the Greek.
All of these are text that you read, as opposed to images that you look at,which it makes sense to suppress. For that matter, I might suppress themmyself, as I am still non-visual even though I now see perfectly, since Igrew up seeing everything as blurred: seeing is *not* believing for me,unlike most of the sighted.-------------- next part --------------An HTML attachment was scrubbed...URL: <https://lists.orbitalfox.eu/archives/gemini/attachments/20210225/74ccefb3/attachment-0001.htm>
