reprogramming my fingers
I can fly through keyboard hot keys by rote ... until I opt to change software or update the programs I work with daily. Today I decided to switch to Firefox from Camino because of Zotero, a citation/resource/note managing application that looks astounding. If it lives up to half of what it appears to be I am going to be so happy I won’t mind reprogramming the hot keys in my brain. So far the biggest difference between Camino and Firefox is that home is no longer apple+H but instead option+home—but the home key on my laptop is fn+left arrow ... so a simple two-key stroke has turned into a two-handed, extended fingers project.
