[00:23:11] <AzumaHazuki> and this is why i use nano. always did
[00:37:31] <chromas> I use notepad. There's no ctrl-backspace, but at least it doesn't make the news

[02:42:57] <Bytram> chromas: Try either Shift+Ctrl+LeftArrow or Shift+Ctrl+Home and then press Delete
[02:46:45] <chromas> It's not the same. 300,000 years into the future and the basic Windows text input will still print a hollow rectangle instead of backspacing a word
[02:50:56] <Bytram> Not claiming it's the same, but if you are looking for a way to remove chunks of text located before the cursor... that's the approach that I have used for decades
[02:52:38] <Bytram> When used in a multi-key combo, the Shift key means remember where I'm starting from, and then one can use all of the kbd nav techniques to reach the end of the region and then, once highlighted, press backspace or delete to remove it

[13:28:37] <AndyTheAbsurd> Macs do the most bizarre shit sometimes.
[13:30:00] <AndyTheAbsurd> Cursor is on the edge of the window. Cursor has changed to the horizontal two-way arrow. I click and move the mouse down. What do you expect to happen to the window?
[13:35:08] <FatPhil> should stay the same width unless you start moving clearly left-right.
[13:37:59] <FatPhil> and definitely shouldn't change height
[13:39:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> Do you want to know what it ACTUALLY did?
[13:40:26] <FatPhil> Did it prove that Jef Raskin is dead?
[13:40:34] <FatPhil> hit me
[13:41:00] <AndyTheAbsurd> It moved the whole window - without resizing it all.
[13:41:07] <FatPhil> woh
[13:41:12] <FatPhil> Jef Raskin's dead
[13:41:20] <AndyTheAbsurd> yeah. I was like.... "dafuq?"
[13:43:18] <FatPhil> sometimes the unepected can cause a "oh, that's neat, I should remember that for future use", which is bad for several reasons including habituation, but if you get a "dafuq" moment, that's baaaad with so many 'a's that it doesn't fit in the window.
[13:44:07] <FatPhil> once you'd dragged it down, if you moved it left-right did it continue moving, or start changing width?
[13:56:11] <FatPhil> n.d. big milky coffee
[13:56:36] <FatPhil> Housing association meeting soon. I'm hoping that this will coddle me to sleep before it starts.

[22:31:20] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd: What an interesting "edge case" (bad pun intended) !! Have you tried it on Windows? What it ends up doing, though I did not anticipate it, makes some degree of sense when I look back on it and implies someone else actually considered it and *implemented* an action rather than just presenting a "fell through the cracks" kind of thing.
[22:32:48] <Bytram> press Alt+Space to bring up the context menu on a command window. Press "S" to select the "S"ize action. It waits for a keypress to determine which side you want to move (up|down|left|right)-arrow. I pressed left arrow.
[22:33:12] <Bytram> The I saw the cursor jump to the vertical center of the Left-hand side (LHS).
[22:33:37] <Bytram> Pressing left|right arrow moved the LHS border to the left|right, respectively.
[22:34:54] <Bytram> Pressed the down-arrow, saw sizing cursor jump to the lower-left-hand corner... and locked it there. Any further arrow key presses moved that corner in the arrow's direction... pretty cool, actually!
