I did not submit this article. This article got submitted i believe because this morning i tweeted my new keyboard blog on twitter, and my keyboard blog mentioned this 6 years old rant. And somebody submitted that here.…
The articles you are citing are from comp.lang.lisp newsgroup. I'm a regular there roughly from 1999 to 2010. I didn't buy a domain to put a rant. I had a website since 1995, had domain since 2000, and my website had…

what a malicious lie. I have written some 10 packages, at least hundred thousand lines of emacs lisp since 2005, all public in github or on my website. http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/xah_emacs_modes.html the only borrowed…
how is it not possible to run emacs with azerty keyboard? is there something preventing you from starting emacs? or some key efficiency issue??
here's what i think. in both ijkl and hjkl, you have one finger doing 2 keys. In vi, it's pointing finger doing hj, moving side ways. In ijkl, it's middle finger doing up down. So i think ijkl is slightly better. I…
