#8vim

Ich habe das Talent dass ich mit den dicken Fingern auf dem Smartphone immer wieder die falschen Tasten drücke und es nicht merke. Heute beim Surfen im Netz die #Tastaturapp #8VIM entdeckt. Anfangs ist man deutlich langsamer und es braucht einiges an Konzentration, aber irgendwie hat das was.

Die Lernkurve soll auch recht Steil sein. Ich geb dem Ganzen mal ne Chance, zur Not ist es eben Gehirnjogging.

Who else takes the time to flag "maintenance required" on data duplication of sidewalks?

#OpenStreetMap #OsmAnd #8vim

OSM note sharing "path fix" to denote to fix the duplication of sidewalk data in OsmAnd with the 8vim keyboard open.

Trying out the #8vim #keyboard. It's being pretty slow rn but I can see me used to it in the future!

Salut le #fedi :)
Je cherche la fréquence des #bigrammes en #français, comme sur apprendre-en-ligne.net/crypto/ mais avec en plus les #accents les #chiffres et les #symboles.

C'est compliqué à faire soi même du coup je me tourne vers vous pour voir si ça n'existerai pas quelque part, bien caché !

#DailyBloggingChallenge (51/100)

Good news, the challenge continues!

Things that were realized:

  • The monthly long form article sub-goal seems like the hardest part of the challenge. Although many have made it to the draft stage, they seem to wait in purgatory until deemed onto them further processing.
  • With the recent shift in the #MappingChallenge from daily to weekly, it is permitted to use the required blog post as a daily blog, thus removing myself from generating two posts on Sunday’s.
  • After using #8pen / #8vim for a good 50 days, it is my preferred keyboard over the default one. Plus it comes with the added benefit that it is another security measure against potential physical attackers. Well, only those who are not savy enough to know how to exchange the keyboard. Though still have nostalgia for the swipe functionality existing on the #Google #Android keyboard. Still missing a solution for emojis.
  • In the 26th (qoto.org/@barefootstache/11090) edition it was mentioned about the struggle of writing in the first hours of the day and have concluded that is only true if either no topic or theme exists. If either is present, then it is much more fruitful compared to waiting the last minute, where it feels those are rushed.
  • Having a theme makes writing so much easier, which I have realized with the past 6 days talking about #rucking. Plus being a so-called expert in the theme simplifies the writing even more and makes it more joyish over a chore. The same can be said with a topic.
  • I am still hesitant with “hashtag bloat” or “hashtag spam” - quite popular on other social media platforms - though when well used on (evergreen) content, one can harvest its bounty many days later, usually through being favorited or boosting. Thus, where applicable trying to integrate the hashtags directly into the post (as seen here) and mitigate them at the end. Though since hashtags are one of the ways for posts to cross instances it is something that should be monitored more closely.
  • 52% of the first 50 were written via 8pen.

So I added Spanish to my Swedish 8vim-keyboard and it was really easy. Now it's as bilingual as I am 😁

¿¡see!?

beri gud.

Je mets 20 ans à écrire parce que je sais pas quel choisir donc je change toutes les 2 secs.

Bon c'est faux, j'ai très envie d'utiliser #8vim mais c'est encore immature. Surtout pour le français...

Ist mal etwas Off-Topic erlaubt? Ich teste gerade eine neue #Android Tastatur #8vim. Ich bin davon sehr angetan. Endlich keine Fehltreffer mehr. Mit etwas Übung dürfte ich schneller werden, als mit der Standardtastatur. So, das war mir auch mal wichtig 😉

Had a whim an reinstalled the #8vim keyboard on my phone. Too early to tell if I like it, or the fact that it makes me slow down a bit to think about what I'm trying to type.

I've mostly been using it with my index finger, which could also suggest that I really just hate typing with my thumbs.

I've learned about a #quikwriting, an alternative text input method using a stylus/finger focusing on continuous flow:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quikwrit

For Android, there was a now no longer maintained keyboard called #8pen.
Now, it has an open source, spiritual successor called #8vim: github.com/flide/8Vim

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using 8vim/8pen or a similar (quikwriting like) input method. If so, how was it? Is the learning curve steep? Did it increase your input rate? Would you say it's worth learning to enter text on a touchscreen?

testing 8vim. It's not intuitive as yet #8vim #8pen

I am overjoyed to report that I have finally, *finally*, found a clone of the old 8pen! 8vim.com/

#8vim is in the early stages, I think, but it exists, and it is more than I can say about 8pen *which I paid money for*. They withdrew the app a few years after I started using it and that has always irked me.
