That was ok, one or two misses then ok.  (More with distress.)
The unbelievable thing was that i lost the notion within a week.
Ie, that laptop is now spare, and gets synced once a week.
(BTRFS, all equal data, play in snapshots plus "setvols" to boot
next into them.)  And i press Gg all the time.  All psychological.
Real horror was turning from three decades of german layout to
american layout with the one MacBook Air i bought .. i thought it
must be cool to program with that, all those symbols so easily
available, we do AltGr all the time for them...  That turned out
to reveal a boggler.  It was tremendously hard.

All off-topic of course.  But american keyboard is easy:
  Ey you know my man, do you know what?
  You're too beautiful not to be free.
  In a butterfly.
  In a child of the sky, Lucy, man!
  And just be up there with .. everything.
  Everything you wanna do you should do.
German keyboard is a bit harder, it is more like the last 30
seconds of "Can - Butterfly", over and over again.  :)
