Really appreciate the pointers. I spend a lot of time lurking here but not much time posting. I'll definitely keep all your suggestions in mind next time I post. Cheers!
if people had been playing with carbon fiber hair historically I really doubt horsehair would take off today.
I do oft wonder how many things we interact with are only the way they are because that's the way they've always been. Tangentially, how much of the world is just vestigial and nobody has thought to question it?
Personally, I've had my Caps Lock key bound to Escape for quite a while (I'd suggest a few years now?). It has been lovely and fits perfectly with my keyboard-driven workflow. Pairs great with Colemak-DH, which is my layout of choice.
I haven't found myself ever missing the Caps Lock key's original functionality, and my blank laptop keycaps mean I can have it bound without mental annoyance.
The cost and time will gradually deter you and inherently create a scarcity mindset, sabotaging your creativity and playfulness and willingness to go "wouldn't it be fun if...?".
You caught something here with my own thinking. I have limitations associated with my own static site generator that acts as a simple barrier of just enough strength to deter my will and likely hinder output. I hadn't really concidered or thought of it at detail.
It isn't financial, but it is a time/mental tax I must pay to create, which should be eliminated. I'll aim to mentally emphasise it's credence as an issue requiring a solution.
Thanks for prompting the thought.
