# Discussion

## Questions and answers

-   Q:I found your screen dimensions and battlestation picture
    interesting. Do you have any place where I can read more about it?
    -   A:
-   Q:I missed the first part of the talk.  This is Excalamus.  How do
    you handle 1-up and repeat type issues? Suppose you need to move 5
    characters to the right.  Do you make 5 separate "right arrow"
    strokes?
    -   A:
-   Q: How did you get into stenotypy, and was that before/during/after
    you started programming and using Emacs?
    -   A:
-   Q:I recently switched to using my homerow index finger keys as shift
    on hold. It feels very nice from an ergonomic perspective, but I'm
    having trouble with consistent shift inputs. Did you have similar
    experiences when starting to use double function keys?
    -   A:

## Notes

-   So much good stuff here, thanks for sharing! +1
- I appreciate the large text on this one
- What a fantastic presentation.
- Yes, ou's doing a great job and setting a good pace
- I have not gone that far with keyboard but I have been using Keymouse (keymouse.com) for a few years and it is killer one for Emacs :).
- Other than Daniel and myself, anyone else in the Emacs community using steno?
  - I played with it but haven't had the time to practice. I have a Georgi and some Elisp to help with things like defining chords, looking things up, etc.
    - I'm on a Georgi now.  So good.
	- what is a georgi?
	  - <http://plover.stenoknight.com/2019/12/georgi-review.html>
	  - It's a Stenoboard that's (sadly) no longer available :(
- I set a metronome and did typey type for 10-15 minutes until I had the basic lessons complete at 90% accuracy and 70wpm. Not that I write that fast now...
- If gpg can perform notarization then maybe Emacs can do legal transcriptions?
