@anildash it is a little, I don't know, embarrassing? that I said on Twitter basically exactly what I said in that blog post 18 months ago -
@xor nothing embarrassing about consistency. -
@anildash yeah also I can't imagine that's a problem you'd have any familiarity with, right? :)

@anildash@joelkelly what letter did it "replace" or would any key press make the symbol? -
@Tarpo@joelkelly replaced {
