The other day I was reminded how SketchUp was a 3D drawing application without a learning curve. Today we get a slide show that needs a manual.

I suppose the right key is to use the space bar. But then the html moves to the next page without any js. (Shift space to page back)

Presto even loaded the "next>" link if one pressed space at the end of the page.

Fastmail uses these too, as does vim.

Ha, yeah I think it's my vim muscle memory that made it feel so weird. `j` going left instead of down and `k` going right instead of up. `h` and 'l` probably would have made me feel right at home though. (And in fairness, changing the keys is trivial in this case!) :-p

lol yeah... "tell me you are lefty without telling me you are lefty"

or just an evil emacs user

not all emacs users are evil!

Those are Vim bindings. The J key rests right under your index finger (and it’s easy to find it thanks to the nudge on your key), which enables you to spend little to no energy to “scroll down”; the K key is for scrolling up.
