it got better when i got a drawing tablet with a puck-mouse and i assigned one of the buttons on the puck to ‘enter’

now i didn’t even have to move my keyboard hand over to hit ‘enter’ for things that needed confirmation.

my lesson in all this is, optimize all the things? just enough that the optimizing doesn’t detract from the task itself.

my dotfiles repo is here if you’re curious https://github.com/mikesusz/dotrepo and i throw extra aliases in a local file ‘.dotlocal’ and reload everything with ‘pro’
