I think this is an important question. There's a plausible reading of our current situation in which capital and labour are being equally shafted by oligarchs who are immensely and increasingly rich without supplying *any* of the classical factors of production.

Puts me in mind of Dot and Bubble, in which the Doctor refused to let himself be excluded from a conversation by the rules and norms of a social media ecosystem, and used the sonic screwdriver to override a series of mutes and blocks. #DoctorWho

(Aral, is this sort of thing helpful? If not I can stop it.)

@aral Or indeed the manufacturer-provided keyboard app.

I'm not sure it is immaterial. The whole project depends critically on developers working for free because they like the product. If one wants the product changed, one either has to convince those developers that they'll like the changed version even more (by a big enough margin to warrant the work they have to do to make the changes), or stump up some cash.

I'd also like some of the features you ask for, but I'm bound to point out: it's FOSS. You're free to pursue your priorities using your time and skill, others are free to pursue their priorities using their time and skill. If you want others to change their priorities to match yours, the onus is on you to persuade them. If they're not persuaded, they don't particularly owe you a logically-sound explanation of why not.
