Acme is great. I haven't been able to find another editor that integrates as tightly with the operating system. The closest I've gotten is Kakoune. And I wish mouse chording were a thing more generally. If we're going to use mice, we should optimize their utility.

I easily hit 4hz at the end of a 20 hour coding bender, and I’m old: the hot shit kids on modafinil must be doing 1.5x my decrepit ass. If you can really move on the keyboard? Touch the mouse? I’ll grab a coffee while I’m at it. Edit: It turns out that “fast emacs” doesn’t turn up a video of a real pro easily on Google. You can see a code God like Russ Cox being slow and clumsy as fuck if you want: https://youtu.be/dP1xVpMPn8M https://youtu.be/dP1xVpMPn8M. It’s a good thing thing he gets everything right on the first try (not sarcasm, Cox is an alien life form optimized for doing the impossible) because if he didn’t he’d finish pound-defining everything by about next March.
