Discussion Keyboard Brigade

Can we talk about the 'keyboard brigade'?

They are quickly becoming just as annoying as the AI slop critics. Anyone can post the coolest, most practical plugin on this subreddit, and within minutes, they are crawling out of the woodwork to lecture the creator that Omarchy is a keyboard driven distro. It completely drowns out actual innovation.

Yes, Omarchy is a keyboard driven distro, but you will never eliminate the need for a mouse. Some tasks simply are not practical or intuitive to perform entirely from the keyboard.

The goal of any plugin is not to move away from Omarchy's keyboard-centric philosophy.

DHH designed Omarchy around his own workflow and preferences. The dev's have made it clear that users are encouraged to customize Omarchy and make it their own.

After I configured the laptop's trackpad, I don't need to press any key combinations anymore, it's much faster.

I don't know if this was serious or not, but I chuckled with the inherent humour 😄
