Re: [9front] PATCH: click-to-focus in fgui

[hiro <23hiro@gmail.com>]

Kvik, with more documentation about our religion won't it become too
hard for the zealous batch of our new users to break those same strict
rules?

I highly approve the urge of learning to be an idiot.

"matters trivial and complex"

I think there is just one trivial matter here, a choice between 2 or 3
options: either you use click to focus, or not.
You might claim there's a third choice, to use both. I pointed out
that this is inconsistent. Maybe you have a complex reason why it is
not?

Looking from the other direction: Is there anybody who disagrees that
consistency is more important than which of the 2 options are
selected? I might have been quick to assume no.

Sorry if my opinion wasn't clear all along. Thanks for your patience.
