what if there were two enter keys, one to the left and one to the right, and
the one on the left inserted an [enter] keypress (carriage return) while the
one on the right inserted a tab.
holding down [SHIFT] would move your character selector back, and if you were
in the middle of the line the [enter] key would just move you down (it wouldn't
insert a carriage return character) unless you held [ctrl] which was the "I
know I told you to do things special one way, but this way is the
(anti/opposite) of that. keybind."
soooooo context sensitive enter keys that inserted or traversed text depending
on if you were near the end of the output?
... who would use that, nerds?
yah probably. people get *really* into vim and they're *so*
cool.

blocking notifications and muting the social media tab makes it *so much
easier to function without it* [like, in other applications on your

a wandering mind is a trail to find, with [all/only] second chances. such is
