Evil ****ers.  I bet this is what was wrong with Welly's Zero.


Just kidding, Welly. Hugz.

I've noticed that the most common transposition error for me is when a word ends in a left-handed key, I switch it with the following space, which I type with my right hand, particularly if the word ends in a 't' or an 'a'. I guess I'd do it with 'z' and 'q' also, but words that end with those letters are rare. Fairly often I erroneously repeat a 't' after the space after a word that ends in 't' (e.g. "that thas").

I would be very surprised to see transposed letters that are on the same hand. I managed to produce a "teh" and a "hadn" while typing the last sentence (and just now a "whiel") but would be surprised to produce a "surprisde" unless I had recently acquired alien hand syndrome.

But my "inner loop" seems to be aware of many of these errors because I'll often correct them even if I can't see what I'm typing.
You can call me... Keyboard Otaku... or not quite...

Here's some beta builds.

I've definitely used a Windows port of Avidemux for some rudimentary video editig I needed to do a year or two ago. It is possible that they're focusing on a new version, and haven't got it stable on Windows yet.

ch_123: I don't know if that was a joke or not. If it was, major props.

Now at Geekhack we'd blame Costar.  If the Democrats lose the House I'm blaming Costar.


Transposition errors in the voting machines... hmm.  Maybe Texas could go blue for a change.

Coming out of a very long lecture, I read the title of this thread and thought "Wow, whoever opened this thread spells like a retard..."

A seconds later, I suddenly realized that it was I who was in fact the retard.

Nah, you're right.  I just skipped the spell-check.
