Two button chording for copy/paste (should be enough and we have no middle mouse button)
And scrolling support (because we have scrolling)
I'll probably make the scrolling kind of 9 style, the higher up in the window, the less lines you scroll
@penny please please, don't make copy and paste a mouse based operation, copy and paste, moves text, and text processing is done on a which device? Consider Vim's ergonomics of using the home keys for arrows keys, because we're going to over learn them anyway. The corded copy is also a pain from the POV that needing to copy a selection, requires a mouse operation which often results in a unintended movement. Poor unusability. Also Vim's vertically selection is surprisingly ace. <3
@neauoire @penny #thePeanutGallery mouse free operation, === accessibility but consistency might be more important for usability. Do you have a chance for both?
@furiousgreencloud @penny well, I decided to implement both in left. I rarely have both hands on the keyboard, so I tend to limit controls to the left-most side of the keyboard when I plan shortcuts.
@penny @furiousgreencloud You'll be the first one to do regex in uxntal!
On the other hand: thank god I'm trying to port 9 code, of all things
But of course the standard windows commands already implemented in Left will remain, and I'll also be adding the standard UNIX text editing commands.
@furiousgreencloud @penny damn, that's also how I copy/cut/paste things around.
I guess Penny and I both from acme-type editors?
