Why did you post a google meet link?

That’s an interesting approach. I’ll have to look into it more.

It’s hard finding a balance between the carrot and stick approach. I tend to think of it more as a scale instead of binary.

For me, still having the mouse available and requiring the caps lock key to be pressed in order to use it, was the right balance.

Keyboardminder is part of my vision of a world where we have a better relationship with our devices. Having a device you can use to get your necessary work done as efficiently as possible is an important part of that.

With UI design/interaction my thoughts are while both are equally important, it is better to separate practical use with just for fun. Keyboardminder is meant to fill the practical side more.

For the RequireCapsLock tool I chose caps lock because most people don’t use it very often and it doesn’t have side effects from being held down while pressing mouse buttons.

The idea with this tool is that if your left hand and more of your brain is actively involved in what ever task you’re working on you will complete it more efficiently. I don’t use this tool all the time but do find it useful for certain tasks.
