To be fair, I know more about Command.ChangeCanExecute than before.
For example, that it exists, that it's a Xamarin thing and that it returns void.
The documentation may not be perfect, but I give it a solid 4/10

.NET documentation is brown, soft and stinky. I am happy to have detached from desktop / server development.

Greetings Kind Regards A minor invention I wish to inform you of . If you are unhappy as I was w/ a mouse pad surface which is not quite as slippery as you prefer may I bring to your attention the product link below . It is a teflon sheet for heat press transfer . In my usage it gradually slips off the now no longer utilized previous mouse pad surface however I presume double stick tape will do the trick . I do not know how it will stand up to washing but it is quite inexpensive to replace and certainly less so than a new mouse pad particularly so as many sheets are provided in a single inexpensive purchase and can even be cut to size - Cheerio

last time I used a mouse pad, mice had balls.

I remember those ballsy mice; they ran everywhere

I had to use one, even with an optical mouse, because my desk had a glass surface. But now that SWMBO has appropriated that nice, large desk, I no longer need a mouse pad.

I have a trackball. Like all reasonable people.
A "mouse pad surface"? Like, in "moving" your arm?

I have a trackpad on my laptop but can't bring myself to use it, so I disable it and use a mouse. But years ago, I used Mac laptops that featured a trackball above left and right mouse buttons, and I didn't have a problem with those.

Not very handy on a laptop, due to placement. Hardly matters for a IDE too; but for gaming, I prefer the trackball.
In an IDE, you should hardly use the mouse. Most things have keyboard shortcuts. There, the mouse is too slow for a keyboard.
In games where you mouse a lot; well, it doesn't make you faster if you use a trackball. It's just easier on the hand muscles.

I rarely play games, and then only those where speed is hardly ever a factor. If I want that, I'll get it on the tennis court. But I think you've provoked me into paying more attention to shortcuts in VS. I just got a new laptop. The previous one was 5 years old, and its ZXCV keys had started to fail intermittently!
|
|
|
|
|
I always found the original Windows short cut keys of
Shift+Del
Ctrl+Ins
Shift+Ins
to work better on a full keyboard. Save the letters for words.
Most apps still support these, but do not advertise it.
|
|
|
|
|
I wasn't aware of those but can do the XCV ones with my left hand. It would take a long time to train an old right hand to do the others.
|
|
|
|
|
I rarely use the mouse when editing code or documents. My right hand lives on the cursor diamond and Home, End, Del and my left hand is hovering over Ctrl and Shift.
Select a word/variable is Shift{select}+Ctrl+Right{or Left}{move one word}
Select some lines:
Home{start of text},
Home{start of line},
Shift+Down{Down…}
Shift+Del{cut}
Give me laptop with a touchpad if you want to hear some choice language.

Well...
Some of us like to get exercise while we code and game Trackballs are okay for coding but not as good for gaming...

Back in the day every other PC mag came with a free mousepad (a.k.a. advertising). But certainly since optical mice, I've never found any reason to use a mousepad. The edges get in the way, and it's just not necessary. Even on a smooth patternless desktop I've never had a problem with the mouse detecting movement, and certainly not on my fake-woodgrained desk surface. Occasionally when I've worked at client sites I've found the desk to be just the wrong height, or the surface to be too rough for my baby-soft hands ( ) in which case I just use a notepad or something. Mousepads seem to be a solution looking for a problem.
Disclaimer: YMMV.

One of the nice parts of going mad (yes there are actually some bright spots to it, at least in my case) is as it loosened some of my screws it gave me more room to maneuver analytically and think outside the box.
One of the things it did for me intellectually was get me more interested in fuzzy "human" data and with it, an interest in philosophy and language.
One of the things it did for me experientially is it gave me "visions" if you will (visual hallucinations) and with those, some I think? rare insight into something I call the meta - the clockwork of action/reaction chains that drive our collective story forward.
One of the things it did for me professionally is make my code less structured, yet IMO more elegant. The way I attack problems has changed somewhat - or maybe going mad just brought something that was already there to the fore, I'm not sure.
So part of me is grateful for the experience. It's certainly not all good, and on balance the bad almost certainly outweighs the good, but I like to try to take away as much useful experience as I can from my circumstances.

I put my money on the fact that you are not mad or going mad, at all. Perhaps a bit eccentric, but that is always good IMHO. Just saying...

This is one of those irregular verbs:
- I have character
- You are eccentric
- He is crazy
