Have you tried the "Ignore accidental trackpad input" option under System Preferences | Trackpad? When I need a pointer I usually use a mouse and turn off the trackpad, so I don't have direct experience with it. (I now see that Robert Hahn suggested this in the comments on your previous piece.)

Also, speaking of case sensitivity, your link to your last post is broken, s/iMac/IMac.

Well, I have had some things to say about the so-called consistency of OS X. But I guess that's sort of personal nitpicking.

Oh, and a quick aside note: the link to your previous post on your Mac experience is broken: it ought to be "IMac", not "iMac".

The broken link is fixed. That it should have been dependent on case is pretty amusing.

And yes, I've turned on the "ignore accidental input" setting. I'll get used to it, I expect. Which isn't to say that Guilio doesn't make some very good points.

Oh, you like emacs, eh? *checks previous post* oh, yeah. You might be interested in this little fact: Applications that have been compiled in the Cocoa environment have emacs keybindings. Some relevant search results. But this is an excellent article to work with if you want to set up your own keybindings.
