What's cool about the terminal?

.....Everything

Why should you use the terminal?

• Programming was never a graphical task
• The original build of the keyboard did not facilitate a mouse
• There are keyboards built specifically for never leaving the home row(Dvorak).
• Staying ergodynamic is important, no one likes flipping between two devices constantly.

Change the Caps lock to control!

Avoid long reaches from home row

Stack up your hotkeys

RSI Sucks...don't get it

Take more time to configure you keyboard.

Research your OS, and find out what it can do

We get caught up in using other people's preferences so much that we forget our own.

Find out what is going to work for you!
