> The best book on the matter I've read of how to learn by ear is "The Gift of Music" by Victor Wooten.

Do you confirm the name? I cannot find any reference to it. We do have 'The Music Lesson' and 'The Spirit of Music'.

It would be interesting to see whether a label emerges, to denote content created pre-chatGPT; ex: certified pre-2023 AI-free content.

Also, it would be possible to train bots on an archive of such material.(accordingly, out of date; so less useful in numerous ways).

I was thinking the same, but as the pictures on the EXWM site suggest: could you not run a dedicated instance for the window manager? And do all your other Emacs tasks in embedded instances, so that the former is not so likely to crash?

Great! No strong thoughts on a specific key. Maybe Shift-F, or Shift-F10? Or Esc-F, since another comment suggested Esc as a general prefix key?

The keyboard shortcuts are signalled in the menu; they are Shift-C and Shift-V

This is great, thanks. Is there a way to access the menu via a key shortcut?

Their Twitter thread (to be found on the front page) recently announces a block-based interface, similar to Scratch, Snap... Example here: https://t.co/aZKscZAHCS

I am honestly wondering which of these alternatives I should start from, to introduce my 8 and 11 yo to programming. Maybe start obvious (so... Scratch, which is used at their school), then introduce the others as needed?

A jacket will not prevent the cold air from hurting a respiratory system. After 1 hour with such cold AC, I will get a sore throat, and come back home with a heavy headache.
