    You liked fluxbox, give ratpoison a try and use it with xbindkeys, I love it smallest, fastest and still the most useable.
    Why can't technology be as simple as the box it comes in ?

    I've noticed my hands and fingers being swollen the last couple days. Too much typing on the keyboard. I should get out more even with two trips to the cinema and two concerts this week. Maybe some stretching exercises?

    Neither did/does this one, but I didn't see him threaten to close it... I wonder why?

    Re: Do you use keyboard shortcuts to save on typing?

    "my right hand went numb" + "maybe i should learn some keyboard shortcuts" = abundantly clear. i don't want to know who else uses keyboard shortcuts. if i wanted to know that, i would have asked. i was far more curious about the numbness (which could explain the original title involving my right hand and numbness). for all i know, the numbness could have been from lifting weights yesterday.

    Re: Do you use keyboard shortcuts to save on typing?

    Get your keyboard and mouse in a better position so your hand is more relaxed, and reduces rubbing against the table surface. Constant abrasion and twisting your hands will cause numbness. If you are trying to imply you have developed carpal tunnel syndrome, don't worry, it is very highly unlikely you do. A big deal gets made about it but in reality most cases develop in pregnant women.

    During a particular development binge a few years ago I developed a numbness in my hand that lasted almost two weeks. A doctor gave me an antiinflammatory but I never even took it. After giving me hands a rest it went away on its own after a few days.
