Obscure keyboard shortcuts.
This is the one. My favorite was the alt-ctl-arrow to flip the monitor direction
We did this so many times in elementary School on school computers. Teachers has no clue on how to fix it ๐ . Great times
Windows Shift S
You'd like Linux, GNOME has some great obscure compose key shortcuts and Vim would keep you entertained for years.
Vim is sorcery: you choose mystic incantations from your eldritch knowledge on the fly and suddenly your text is doing exactly what you want.
Vim user chiming in. I love it
I've used, administered and coded on Linux for a very long time. So yup
I used to have vim-mappings for opening a browser with RickRoll triggered by a typo I used to make a lot. Fun times.
