Logseq sure does work hard at being friendly

Talking about Logseq, a knowledge management tool roughly equivalent to Obsidian or Org-roam.
There’s just so many little affordances. Not even talking about the built-in query language or graph view. Those are full-on features, which other tools match or sometimes exceed. I’m talking about little things like t t to toggle between the light and dark mode of your current theme. It’s just nice to use even before you get to tweaks and plugins.
Logseq documentation has the full list under Keyboard Shortcuts but here are a few that I’ve built up muscle memory for:
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
t t |
light / dark theme |
t r |
right sidebar |
t l |
left sidebar |
t d |
list / document mode |

Jack’s still got my back and he’s keeping his motor running.

Huh. I’m not sure if I ever used <> for an inequality check in Python. I know I haven’t seen it in a heck of a long time.
This code I’m looking at is full of old-timey python greats like that, and mixed tabs and spaces.

Well crap somebody bought some of my designs off Threadless and now I feel compelled to have more than two designs on the site.

Can’t connect work laptop for the project.
MBP connects, but can’t run the project because it requires Windows.
So Linux is out too.
Can’t run the project on my own Win partition w/o crippling my dev flow.
a religious person might consider these a sign from god
