New comment by cl3misch in "I Hate (Most) Keyboard 'Fn' Keys"

Alt-F4 is the canonical shortcut for closing a window

F2 is the canonical key for renaming

F5 is refresh

F11 is fullscreen

F1 is for help but admittedly I don't use that a lot

I can't think of a very frequent, standard use for the other keys. So I can't really disagree with having so many F keys being kinda unnecessary. But I'm happy to have them and they never bothered me.

> this device can be a bridge from a dumb phone to a smart-ish device, a device that’s not an actual smart phone

What do you mean exactly? Is it really a "bridge from/to" or rather a "compromise between"?

Wouldn't Flatpak be a solution to many of those problems? Develop the app against one Window Manager / Desktop environment and have them as requirements of the Flatpak?

> Maybe the idea of having a "canvas editor" and building it on VS Code is not that unique...

Re-reading my comment made me realize it sounded condescending, where it was actually meant to emphasize that a canvas editor is a great idea! So I am very glad that there is development is this space.

Just felt the need to clarify this...

This seems to be very similar to the (sadly abandoned) Haystack editor [1]. I was a bit surprised to find no mention of Haystack in the README or here in the comments. Maybe the idea of having a "canvas editor" and building it on VS Code is not that unique...

OP mentions "Logitech Pop" at the end of the article.

> I had to set my syncthing web GUI to be listening on all addresses instead of just 127.0.0.1. I don't love this approach, but again, this thing has nothing private on it.

OP mentions SOCKS proxy but you can also just port-forward the one web ui port instead:

    ssh -nNT writerdeck -L 8484:localhost:8384

and visit http://localhost:8484 on your normal machine.

That sounds amazing!

The WebRTC "fallback" basically means the QR code is just a handshake when both devices are on the same network?

Ask HN: Is Anybody Using Codex?

cl3misch — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 16:12:18 +0000

I read HN daily and posts about features or curious behavior of Claude Code are very common.

I see no posts about OpenAI Codex. I was under the impression that it also is a very popular tool and virtually as powerful as Claude Code.

Where am I wrong? Is Codex not popular? Is it significantly worse than Claude Code? Is it being "cancelled" because of OpenAI cooperating with the US Department of War?
