I dislike how they also have an entirely useless § key, too. I remapped mine to #.

<sigh>

I'm all for consistency, but obtusifying an established (albeit localised) standard just smacks of... well, the kind of thing Apple does, I guess, and it's not like Macs are priced such that they need to save a few pennies by using the same physical chassis across territories.

The weird keyboard thing was a driving factor in my spending more than I could have done (if I'd bought from the US) on a new laptop. Although Kobalt had clearly been taking lessons in irony when they then offered to install just about any keyboard layout on the planet anyway. I stuck with UK.

Have you remapped the right mouse button to anything? Oh, right.

The fact that Apple have bothered to support right-button interactions on third-party mice is a quiet admission that they should have put one on in the first place.

Apple's own mice and trackpads have had a right-click for some years now in fact. Took them too long, but they got there.

Not all of them, unless it's very recent. I got a Macbook a few years ago that doesn't have a right-click, just multitouch which is a pain in the hole.
Also, I can't think of a signature, any ideas?

I find the multitouch right-click is much easier if you enable the 'tap to click' option. Having to actually press down on the pad makes it tricky to get right.

I don't have to press down the pad to click, there's a separate button for that. The problem I have is that the pad is pretty unresponsive as to whether two fingers are touching it or not, so many right-clicks become left-clicks which is particularly bad since I tend do a lot of right-click dragging.

I watch a lot of Pat. I agree with some of what he says, but I don't quite a bit.

 

I watch a lot of shit on youtube. Started watching this last night and found it interesting so far:

On a side note, I think the problem with Pat is:

 

Although he's quite good at expressing the part of me that fears/dislikes about religion, most of what he says comes just from his racism. I prefer to watch debates about it from less angry people.

I am a Muslim and I have a US keyboard but shift+3 is # and alt+3 is £.

 

So where does that leave me?

There are places I remember all my life, though some have changed. Some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments, with lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead, some are living. In my life, I've loved them all.

I didn't think anyone noticed, I mainly chat shite about football and on rllmuk these days. I do check in now and then but I feel bad for cheating on Beehive :(
