Man, those goddamn mice! Who needs them? With just two buttons and some lame-o scroll wheel and relative movement and their pseudo-circular shape. They don’t even look like real mice at all!

With that in mind, what would you like to have keyboard shortcuts for? And I don’t mean just “oh I really like the F1 key!” (they’ll be customizable), what actions would you like shortcuts for? What do you need to really hardcore your experience with minimum effort and maximum speed?

Apparently people have a very hard time reading words, so I’ve written this post appropriately:

• Downloads now only has actual download info! Boring installation instructions were moved to the new Documentation! Also it’s all hosted on our site now!
• Failing to read the instructions still makes people angry and look at you funny on the subway!
• We’ve had an IRC channel for a while now! Come idle in the nerdiest whiniest chats ever!
• We’ve also had Git builds! They’re like nightly builds but more extreme! Windows only.
• Translators! There’s a forum for you! You don’t need to keep commenting in decade-old posts!

Also for the Windows users that feel all sad and lonely and compiler-less and missing out on the latest boldest changes, there are now automated Git Windows builds. These are made off the latest codebase, so

After a lot of peer pressure careful thinking and planning, the codebase has been moved over to Git on Github, and the Sourceforge SVN codebase will no longer be maintained. The Compiling instructions have been updated respectively (updated Contributing instructions will soon follow), so anyone who likes to compile the project should catch up. For Windows users, I recommend either Git Extensions or TortoiseGit.

Edit: Contribution instructions in the forum are now updated.
