Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.94,0:00:14.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Shall we do a demo on the big screen?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.10,0:00:15.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you can see what it looks like?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.20,0:00:16.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,EMILE: Yeah, if you want, yeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.07,0:00:17.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DREW: You won't be able to see what's happening,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.48,0:00:19.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like, what keys I'm pressing,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.04,0:00:20.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but you'll see how quickly text comes out.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.77,0:00:21.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's mental.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.94,0:00:38.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All right.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.11,0:00:39.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also, I'm using TextEdit,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.41,0:00:43.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because if you're in normal mode in Vim,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.25,0:00:45.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with steno, it's just like...
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.87,0:00:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, if you put a beginner in front of Vim,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.12,0:00:50.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,random stuff happens.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.64,0:00:53.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you'll understand when you see this.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.24,0:00:54.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, so I'm just going to make this...
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.67,0:00:56.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Can I make this full screen or something?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.81,0:00:58.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or just make it big?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.44,0:00:59.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Make it really big.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.74,0:01:01.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, so this is --
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.41,0:01:02.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm running Plover,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.43,0:01:05.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is one of those keyboards\Nthat does n-key rollover.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.88,0:01:07.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'm just going to --
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.44,0:01:10.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tell you what, I'll just mash the keys.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.18,0:01:14.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So everything that comes out in uppercase
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.35,0:01:17.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is basically a chord\Nthat doesn't have a designated word.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.24,0:01:20.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, like, there are --\Nthere's a Plover dictionary,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.38,0:01:22.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and anything -- when I mash some keys,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.28,0:01:25.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and random all-caps comes out,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.91,0:01:29.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it means there's no word defined to that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.08,0:01:31.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here,\NI'm going to start a new line.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.85,0:01:34.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If I use both my index fingers,\Nthat's like using the return key.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.88,0:01:37.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So...\NNew line.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.24,0:01:39.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And let's see.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.35,0:01:44.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.85,0:01:46.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Um...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.28,0:01:47.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.50,0:01:48.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The cat.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.81,0:01:51.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The sat.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.68,0:01:53.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The cat sat.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.23,0:01:56.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.63,0:01:57.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How do I do on?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.90,0:01:58.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's going to be...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.77,0:01:59.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.90,0:02:01.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.65,0:02:04.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mat, that would be M-A-T.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.39,0:02:05.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>> It's so fast.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.59,0:02:06.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.12,0:02:07.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DREW: Yeah, it's incredible, isn't it?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.32,0:02:08.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that was...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.56,0:02:11.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That was one stroke for each word.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.39,0:02:13.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But each stroke involved, like,\Nthree or four keys
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.99,0:02:15.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,being pressed at the same time
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.52,0:02:17.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the way that, like, stenographers look on it,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.86,0:02:20.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you might be pressing ten keys at once,\Nbut that's one stroke.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.76,0:02:22.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As far as they're concerned.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.53,0:02:24.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They can do maybe\Nfive strokes a second.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.53,0:02:28.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which sounds like nothing,\Nif you're typing at 110 words per minute on qwerty.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.52,0:02:31.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're probably doing round about\N10 keystrokes a second.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.49,0:02:33.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But five strokes per second\Nis actually quite slow,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.69,0:02:36.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but text just comes out, like,\Nreally quickly.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.93,0:02:38.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So...\NLet's see.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.62,0:02:42.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Does anyone want to try this?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.26,0:02:47.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm slightly...\NSo basically, like, there's loads of single keys
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.09,0:02:48.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that will output a word.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.40,0:02:50.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, all of the shortest,\Nmost common words,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.56,0:02:52.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just come out with a single keystroke.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.29,0:02:57.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So all of these words --\Nthat's like one keystroke.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.17,0:02:59.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>> So does every word have to have a chord, then?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.64,0:03:02.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DREW: Yeah, every word has a chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.04,0:03:04.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Huh?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.97,0:03:06.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>> Single letters for (inaudible) Vim?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.77,0:03:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DREW: Okay, so single letters.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.00,0:03:09.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right, the way it works --
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.31,0:03:10.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you've got the left hand.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.61,0:03:12.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It can spell the entire alphabet.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.10,0:03:14.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the right hand can spell\Nonly the parts of the alphabet that it needs to.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.96,0:03:16.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the thumbs deal with the vowels.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.44,0:03:21.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And basically,\Nyou form a word
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.71,0:03:24.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by putting together a consonant,\Na vowel, and a consonant.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.91,0:03:26.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in the English language,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.78,0:03:28.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,English words aren't symmetrical.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.94,0:03:31.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are certain patterns that appear a lot\Nat the end of a word,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.17,0:03:33.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there are certain patterns that appear a lot\Nat the start of a word.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.50,0:03:36.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so the left hand\Nhas a completely different layout to the right hand,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.89,0:03:39.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but both are capable of typing out\Nmost of the alphabet.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.50,0:03:42.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you can type all of the alphabet\Nwith the right hand.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.51,0:03:46.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if I hold down the asterisk key,\NI can spell the whole alphabet.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.04,0:03:47.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'll just demonstrate some of it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.90,0:03:50.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I can go a, b, c.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.90,0:03:52.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, this is pretty slow.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.08,0:03:53.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But basically, you never have to do this.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.97,0:03:55.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Oh, that's wrong.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.18,0:03:56.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You never have to do this,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.91,0:04:00.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because you've always got something --\Nyou've always got a word.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.74,0:04:03.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's only if you have to add\Na new entry to the dictionary
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.14,0:04:05.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you actually have to --\Nthey call it fingerspelling.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.14,0:04:07.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But yeah, so basically --
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.61,0:04:12.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,someone pick a one-syllable word,\Nand I'll type it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.36,0:04:13.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>> Dog.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.25,0:04:15.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DREW: What was that? Dog.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.49,0:04:18.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, so with my left hand,\Nit would be --
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.45,0:04:24.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this finger presses two keys at once,\Nand then I use the O key with my left thumb,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.92,0:04:26.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then G.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.69,0:04:27.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It sounds crazy.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.42,0:04:30.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It really does sound crazy, doesn't it?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.29,0:04:33.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Oh, I spelled the word dodge instead.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.82,0:04:37.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's funny,\Nbecause everything turns out being phonetic,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.59,0:04:40.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and whereas in qwerty, it's very easy\Nto misspell a word,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.82,0:04:44.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in steno, instead,\Nwhat happens is a word comes out
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.49,0:04:46.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that sounds like the word you meant.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.65,0:04:47.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's really funny.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.65,0:04:48.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So okay, I'll try again at dog.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.45,0:04:49.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think I did that wrong, actually.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.92,0:04:51.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There we go, that's dog.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.44,0:04:52.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's pretty mental.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.72,0:04:55.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>> It's like the T9 dictionary\Nin old cell phones, isn't it?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.66,0:04:57.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DREW: Like which dictionary?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.17,0:04:58.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>> Predictive text.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.20,0:04:59.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DREW: Yeah, I suppose it is, yeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.34,0:05:01.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a bit like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.26,0:05:03.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah, but basically the way you would\Nmake it work with Vim --
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.73,0:05:05.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you would have to define a custom dictionary
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.58,0:05:08.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with lots of chords\Nrepresenting the Vim commands.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.47,0:05:09.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>> So emacs.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.94,0:05:12.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DREW: It kind of becomes emacs, yeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.28,0:05:15.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, you could even create, like,\Nan emacs dictionary, and a Vim dictionary,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.47,0:05:19.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that the same chords\Ndid the same thing in the different editors.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.07,0:05:23.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You could create a steno Rosetta Stone-type situation.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.76,0:05:27.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>> It's perfect for pairing stations,\Nwhen people use Vim and emacs.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.41,0:05:30.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>> Yeah, how about that?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.01,0:05:31.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if anyone wants to try that out,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.24,0:05:33.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're welcome to.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.11,0:05:35.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's pretty mental,\Njust mashing the keys
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.30,0:05:36.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and seeing what comes out.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.84,0:05:39.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wasn't quite expecting so much\Nrandom nonsense to come out there.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.58,0:05:42.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'll just try that again.

Dialogue: 0,0:13:07.63,0:13:11.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is one area --\Nit's the kind of thing I'm stuck with, at the moment,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:11.26,0:13:14.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I often end up having words\Njoined together, or not joined together,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:14.86,0:13:17.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that shouldn't happen like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:17.06,0:13:20.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:20.100,0:13:22.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Can I show you one more thing?
Dialogue: 0,0:13:22.02,0:13:23.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think this is quite cool.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:23.73,0:13:27.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When you're using something like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:27.26,0:13:29.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'm going to type the word silent,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:29.36,0:13:32.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is two syllables.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:32.07,0:13:34.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the first syllable is sigh,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:34.26,0:13:36.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and sigh is itself a word.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:36.23,0:13:37.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So watch this.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:37.06,0:13:38.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If I say -- forgive me,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:38.94,0:13:41.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while I take a moment to compose this.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:41.26,0:13:44.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that was one stroke for sigh,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:44.17,0:13:45.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then if I do a stroke for lent,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:45.80,0:13:47.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lent is also a word,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:47.10,0:13:48.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but silent is a word.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:48.96,0:13:50.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'm going to say...
Dialogue: 0,0:13:50.43,0:13:52.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,L-E-N-T.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:52.96,0:13:54.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That should be good.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:54.27,0:13:55.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,See what happened there?
Dialogue: 0,0:13:55.50,0:13:56.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It swallowed up the word sigh,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:56.76,0:13:58.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and changed it,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:58.43,0:14:00.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,changed it into silent.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:00.40,0:14:01.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that is something you'll often see,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:01.57,0:14:05.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you watch somebody typing with steno.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:05.17,0:14:06.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You see words appearing,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:06.49,0:14:08.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then being swallowed up,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:08.03,0:14:10.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and sort of consumed by the subsequent characters.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:10.83,0:14:12.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's really cool when you see it happen.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:12.50,0:14:14.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It sort of looks like an artifact,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:14.73,0:14:19.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but then somehow I think it's kind of cool.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:19.13,0:14:21.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>> What happens if you want to say sigh\Nand lent in the same...
Dialogue: 0,0:14:21.60,0:14:25.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DREW: Um, so you could force a space\Nbetween them.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:25.37,0:14:26.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think if I just said...
Dialogue: 0,0:14:26.74,0:14:29.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it's S-P will do a space.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:29.26,0:14:30.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Generally a space will be inserted.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:30.77,0:14:31.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if I said...
Dialogue: 0,0:14:31.89,0:14:36.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sigh space...\NI've got to think about this...
Dialogue: 0,0:14:36.20,0:14:38.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lent, I can get the two words.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:38.87,0:14:42.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But generally it's like --\Nyou would look at
Dialogue: 0,0:14:42.33,0:14:45.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when the individual syllables\Ncan form individual words,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:45.62,0:14:47.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you would look at the English language, and think --
Dialogue: 0,0:14:47.57,0:14:50.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can I form a sentence\Nwhere the word sigh is followed by the word lent?
Dialogue: 0,0:14:50.67,0:14:53.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you can't think of a sentence\Nthat doesn't sound like nonsense,
Dialogue: 0,0:14:53.77,0:14:59.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then it's safe to add that to the dictionary\Nas a definition for the word silent.
Dialogue: 0,0:14:59.70,0:15:01.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,>> Is it the same for deletion?
Dialogue: 0,0:15:01.10,0:15:02.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Does it delete word by word?
Dialogue: 0,0:15:02.63,0:15:04.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,DREW: Yeah, good question.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:04.13,0:15:05.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the asterisk key,\Nthe one in the middle,
Dialogue: 0,0:15:05.93,0:15:07.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is like the backspace.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:07.66,0:15:09.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's kind of like undo in Vim, actually.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:09.10,0:15:12.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if I press it once, it deletes\Nbasically the last stroke.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:12.37,0:15:15.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Press it again and again,
Dialogue: 0,0:15:15.63,0:15:16.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and watch this.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:16.40,0:15:20.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We get back to sigh.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:20.39,0:15:22.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's -- you know,\Nthere's quite a lot of clever stuff
Dialogue: 0,0:15:22.28,0:15:25.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going on inside of Plover,\Nto track all of that stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:25.93,0:15:27.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So anyway, I've been talking long enough.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:27.40,0:15:28.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Does anyone want to try this out?
Dialogue: 0,0:15:28.73,0:15:30.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'll put it down here,\Nand you don't have to all do it
Dialogue: 0,0:15:30.73,0:15:32.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the big screen.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:32.10,0:15:35.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I've been so excited since I learned this.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:35.97,0:15:38.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I sort of feel like there was a stage with Vim
Dialogue: 0,0:15:38.20,0:15:40.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I knew enough about what Vim was capable of,
Dialogue: 0,0:15:40.53,0:15:41.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but didn't know how to operate it.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:41.83,0:15:45.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I sort of felt unsatisfied \Nwith the text editors I was using.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:45.49,0:15:47.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I sort of feel like that about steno at the moment.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:47.90,0:15:50.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's like --\Nit's made me really unhappy with qwerty,
Dialogue: 0,0:15:50.37,0:15:52.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I can't use it yet.
Dialogue: 0,0:15:52.84,0:15:55.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's something I'm working on.
