Subject: [9fans] Acme niceties
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:40:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b3b4f6f30908111540o63e1b31q348ec82d17d0dd9e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

One thing I like about acme is it doesn't present me with little
annoyances I must learn to work around.  Instead I find little
niceties like this:  I was editing an over sized tag in a way that
would cause it to shrink, leaving my mouse pointer outside.  But acme
nicely warped the pointer so it remained in the tag and my typing
wasn't redirected unexpectedly.  It's a small thing, but it made me
happy, and I wanted to say thanks to whomever is responsible.  I'm in
the mood to appreciate small things today.

Micah
