@hackerfactor Hey thanks Neal!

I now feel compelled to investigate how hard it is to remap a keyboard in macOS. It _is_ a UNIX machine at heart, after all. :)

P.S. Good to hear from you, man!

@dimitribouniol Thanks for the friendly and thoughtful response.

Such a nice change from that "other micro-blogging service that shall remain unnamed…"

@dimitribouniol To clarify, Dimitri, I'm not refering to Jacob's specific example as "moronic," but the pattern per se.

I should have made that more clear in my original response. Sorry for that, and thanks for pointing this out to me! 👍

My current favorite keyboard is a Keychron K2. Alas, this thing has a dedicated key for taking screenshots, which key is located right next to the delete and backspace keys.

Number of times I've intentionally used that key for a screenshot:

0

Number of times I've inadvertently hit that key and was annoyingly kicked out of my flow because the keyboard effectively stopped working:

far too many to count

#UX take-away:

Jakob's Law actually applies to everything, not just websites.

The upper right corner of a mechanical keyboard.

A circle highlights a key with a screenshot icon. This key is immediately to the left of the Delete key, and immediately above the double-wide Backspace key.

At least for media applications (movies, TV, music) I can’t think of a single one that does not apply this to some degree. Sadly, Apple’s native applications in this area are among the worst offenders. ☹️

@jacobgorban This ubiquitous text truncation lunacy is making me seriously consider whether I want to keep working in UX.

There is zero — ZERO! — reason for this moronic #UX design choice (!) besides pure aesthetics.

So how could this nonsense ever become so widespread and unquestioningly accepted across such a broad spectrum of contexts?

You won’t be disappointed.

As for what you wrote after “until…:” I just did. And I just did. 🥲

Another musical giant has left the worldly stage.

How I wish that he's jamming with Josef and Jaco _somewhere_ out there right now.

P.S.: Here's what _should_ appear in that empty area in the previous toot. Well, at least the icons of the Extensions flicker into, and out of, view every now and then. Not the S/W quality I expect from Cupertino…

The section of an empty Safari window in which Extension buttons typically appear. Four icons occasionally appear for a split second, and then disappear again, representing the four Extensions that are active in my configuration of Safari, and which the application fails to load properly.

# orderedItems[].object.content
Example 2: Safari will randomly fail to load all active Extensions. The icons in the toolbar don't appear when loading the application. Occasionally, the icons will flicker into view for a moment, and then disappear again.

Like the other bug I mentioned, this one seems to require a reboot to "fix" it.

It's just appalling that something so utterly obvious remains unfixed for so long. :(

A screenshot of the toolbar area of an empty Safari window and a partial view of the list of active Extensions in the Settings window.

Four Extensions are checked, but none of their respective buttons appears in the Safari toolbar.

Seeing how some serious, productivity-crushing bugs in #Apple software remain unfixed for months and months, I wonder if the company is consciously ignoring them or simply doesn't know how to fix them properly

Example 1: I've seen this Finder error (with this exact number) for more than a year now. The only way to "fix" it is a reboot.

A sidewalk is bordering the San Francisco Bay. The water of the way has gentle waves on it, hitting a well at the edge of the sidewalk about a foot, or thirty centimeters, below the sidewalk's surface.
