  • What do you find not great about mouse/keyboard GNOME? All the gestures I know have pretty simple mouse and keyboard equivalents. So far I just gesture three fingers up/down/left/right, which I can do on a keyboard with super/alt-super-left/alt-super-right or on a mouse with hot-corner/corner-click/corner-scroll. If there’s a gesture I’m missing out on please let me know, I always like to learn new tricks.

    I read it as pro-gyn-nova

    • Pro: as in professional/effective
    • Gyn: woman (from Proto-Indo-European *gwen), like in gynocology
    • Nova: new (in many romance languages)

    It rolls off the tongue and encapsulates three important aspects. I’m sure there are other readings of it too.

    I think it’s because some Microsoft computer had a dedicated button so you could do things like Office+W or Office+P (or apparently Office+L), but they had to make it use an actual keyboard input so they used a string of modifiers that wouldn’t be used by accident.
