"That's an interesting question, Jake."

For a good laugh.

Well, you could map control to escape then :-)

But that sounds too much like an easy solution for Vim users, and what would they have to piss and moan about then?

Vim has contextual physical button remapping, and it's a positive thing.

Apple adds a hardware + software feature to provide a context-sensitive multi-touch region allowing for multiple types of physical input & visual feedback in any application, and it's a gimmick?

Gotcha.

I'm also not only talking about vim here. Nearly any PC game in the past two decades or more allows key rebinding. Many even allow macros. Most GUI IDEs offer the same. This isn't new.

Lastly, you seem to want to characterize me as "pissing and moaning". Personal attacks won't get you anywhere with me.

Right, I forgot that mapping X to Up is the same as showing a colour picker slider when you need to choose a colour.

You seem to be far too hostile for a conversation about a piece of glass on a computer. You should take a break.
