Click the full screen button to enjoy a movie. Watch for a bit. Hit space to pause to do something. Unfullscreen.

I hate that, space bar should just always be pause and resume not whatever you hit last. Now I have to go full screen then pause and resume so that of I hit spacebar later it will pause

J for 10s jump back

K for pause

L for 10s jump forwards

Also , and . (or < and >, depending on how you look at it) move a paused video frame by frame.

I hate vi shortcuts because they never take non-qwerty keyboard distributions into account and it is unpredictable whether they'll follow position or letter and shortcuts of webpages aren't remappable.

Just to cut to the chase, insulting people is not endearing or cute. Is just insulting. There's nothing cutesy about insulting half the world population. I don't give a fuck what you think about other's usage of alternate keyboard layouts. I care about my health, you can go kick rocks somewhere else.

The couple of months of frustration needed to learn Dvorak were totally worth it, even with the keyboard layout issues I've had to deal with since then, like remembering to switch if a game doesn't automatically remap their keys for dvorak or finding out how to switch layouts when MS has yet again changed where the option is.

Better comfort, plus an extra layer of security vs people watching what you type to guess a password. Plus some potential to trick keyloggers that use raw keyboard input but don't consider alternate layouts, though that's a pretty easy flaw to correct it they do realize why it all looks like a jumbled mess.

Arrow R/L for RR/FF

No, the legacy of HJKL in modern tools comes from vi, which itself uses them because the original ADM-3A terminal that Bill Joy used when developing it used HJKL in lieu of arrow keys.

vi was hugely influential and its legacy can be found in many tools beloved by software engineers and other tech-minded folks (and vi's successor, vim, is still widely used to this day).

The Apple TV 4 launched with a feature where you could hold the Siri Remote and ask “what did they say?” And it would do exactly that.

I’m pretty sure it only worked in their apps

Of course :(

They’ve supported it since 2015 and provide this extensive documentation:

My feedback:

“Control what's playing on Apple TV” includes "What did he say?" with no explanation of the rewind/temp CC feature. Also excludes shorter “what was that?” command. I want a massive table of all command permutations and their results.

Not sure on the stick but on the roku TV you just press the options button when you're watching something and it's right there in the CC settings.

Adjust audio by 5% with up/down arrow keys, so your focus will never be on the audio slider.

You can also adjust it by 10% by hovering over it and scrolling up/down with the mouse wheel.
