I like the panels - very clean. What theme/texture are you using? Got any Nautilus snapshots to show us?

not much to look at i know

recently i got a laptop and found that i dont like using the touchpad. turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it led me to configure fluxbox and all my core apps to be useable mouseless. took a day or two to get used to but OMFG, i can't believe how long i was tied to the mouse and much quicker and easier usage is now; especially browsing using the vimperator firefox add on.

Wouldn't it be easier just to plug in a usb mouse instead of surfing the web with vimperator? Don't you find it a pain in the ass?

metamorphoise · 14th August 2008, 11:43 PM

quite the contrary, i'm loving it. it has become second nature.

granted, i did find it difficult at the start - in the first few days i often found myself reverting to the mouse. but then something clicked and instead of thinking 'mouse' to click a link i found myself thinking 'f key'.

even got busted using a friends computer the other day, he asked me why i kept pressing f >.<

I for one would be very interested in a little indepth post with configs on how you achieved this, because like you I hate touchpads...
