become instinctual if your fingers are up to the task but remembering
that pie menu from Second Life, I wonder if such a thing would be
just
as efficient for text.
I've made a game out of guessing where predefined web pages pop up in
my browsers startup and seeing how close to the 'g' on the login button
I can get before it pops up. I also prefer to have acceleration set low
and speed set high, where I can move completely across the screen
without having to pick my hand up to reach the 4 corners (ie all motion
in the wrist and fingers)
I find Rio's menus inefficient as they are, and I'm wondering why.
One point is that the menus appear with the last chosen item
selected,
which means the pointer is not in a consistent position relative to
the menu when it is opened.
I find that annoying too. I also find it a complete show stopper that
several of the commands are almost opposite of the settings I have been
using on Linux for the past 15 years, and Solaris, SunOS, AIX, and
Ultrix before that. It would be easy to change X's mouse definitions,
but I'm still asking myself if I *really* want to retrain myself to
follow Rio et al's conventions.
Is there some way to configure all these settings? I have not found
them yet.
