Nyxt: The Hacker's Browser
Looks like Nyxt, a browser &quot;inspired by Vim&quot;, inherits Vim&#x27;s showstopper bug: Being unusable on many non-US keyboards, at least with the default bindings. The &#x27;switch-buffer-previous&#x27; command is bound to C-[, which cannot be pressed e.g. on QWERTZ layouts because the [ character requires AltGr. This is like sending around text files encoded in Windows-1252 and expecting things to just work.<p>Sorry folks, but it turns out that the creators of Vi(m) <i>didn&#x27;t</i> actually invent the ultimate UI paradigm half a century ago. It&#x27;s bad enough that a text editor that ignores the past few decades of UX research is still in widespread use, but please, for the love of God, <i>stop</i> incorporating that broken paradigm into new products.<p>What a pity, because Nyxt looks like a well-designed piece of software otherwise.
