It’s just wrong and makes one wonder what other policies they’re considering.

After taking some time to mourn I plan on looking into Godot. I expect to take a big productivity hit but at least I won’t be continuing to invest my time into working on a platform that is so anti-dev.

I (sorta) solved this issue by getting an Ergodox and designing a qwerty layout[1] that made the modifier keys thumb accessible and other non-alpha keys close to the home row through layers:

- navigation layer: arrow keys and tab navigation on the home row.

- number and symbol layer: numbers on the home row, function keys one row above and punctuation one row below.

Its still a work in progress but I think it has helped me.

You can share playlists from your original account with your new account and copy them over. You can even make a playlist of your saved songs and and save them all at once to your new library (select all > Save to your Library)
