Javelin's Key Layout Tool

javelin's key layout tool

From the ever-amazing Tharelia:
Today, Javelin gains a new feature -- You can use the Key Layout tool to change the active layer. This allows you to create a layer for your favourite apps or games, and without having a key bind, you can switch to it using the web tools UI. Grab a firmware build dated November 10 or later to use it.

Novel Writing Proceeds

Not much news to report in the open steno world lately, but I have been using my Jarne to write my novel via Javelin to my Android phone (using the iA Writer app), and it's been going remarkably well. So far I've written on the bus, on the subway, in a bookstore, in a park, in a library, at work during breaks, and, of course, at home, and I've managed to make my word count (1,667 words per day) every day so far. The Jarne is so lightweight and connects instantly to my phone, so there's very little excuse not to take it with me wherever I go, and setting it up takes a matter of seconds, so I can take advantage of even relatively short periods of free time. It's really changed the way I think about the process of writing while out and about in the world, and I'm incredibly grateful to have it.
