I found that Sash forward switching works about 97% of the time, but still occasionally has a hiccup. Have not been able to pinpoint a cause yet, but I find that even in that case the reverse shortcut still works.

Even without that, I find myself using the reverse shortcut more than I thought I would, so that was a good suggestion.

Jitteriness has also been addressed.

New release available on GitHub. Please set the forward shortcut again too.

I found cmd+backtick broke in many other situations too. Was driving me mad.

Only tested on the latest macOS — would appreciate any reports from other versions.

And my other point is that != is _harder_ to type in Japanese input mode because you constantly have to manage full-width vs half-width input.

I replied that for Japanese at least, probably due to symbol input being too tedious. However I think it's worth mentioning a potential mitigation, and maybe even an advantage.

As a mitigation, full-width symbols could be used instead, which are typically the default in Japanese input. Japanese itself is also fixed-width so if done across the board the language itself becomes fixed-width, not just by virtue of a font selection.

As an advantage, some logical symbols, greek letters, other rare characters are easy to input in Japanese mode, and this could lend itself to a more symbol-heavy language design. I already take advantage of this myself with Δ, φ, and τ use selectively in a few projects. Symbols with easy entry may differ by OS, but here are a few other examples that could be useful:

≠, ≡, ∞, ∴, λ, θ, α, β, ・, °, ※

Often had the same thought, if not shared same opinion. On the other hand, stiffer penalties have the trade off of incentivizing cover-ups, i.e. disincentivize honest disclosure.

Nonetheless, if reports are to be believed the post-rule change decline is significant, and I can’t help but wonder how big of a positive feedback loop—in other words a bubble—was being created. The gap was, after all, built up over several decades.

The usual culprit you mentioned, perhaps aren’t as much of a factor as we usually ascribe to them.

Just speculating.

Thanks for sharing the report.

Until 2022, U.S. companies had a real competitive advantage.

Software developer salaries in Japan are depressed—other roles too, but especially engineers. Without digging too deep, perhaps the previously unfavorable (now roughly equal) tax treatment of was perhaps a contributing factor.

I guess our gmail content has been fed into an AI of sorts since many years ago. I would surely hope, however, that Google would not use it for any sort of non-private LLM training data.
