    "Features" I only ever engage by accident: caps lock, OSX Expose, Twitter Moments, Vim split screens.

        They all have something in common: they're invoked by ordinary inputs, but change the whole model of what you're doing.

        @paulg Twitter moment is a pile of tweets like your feed, but in cards not compact. It's actually a great news interface for a story

        @paulg the problem is that they don't (yet) tune the stories to you. The interface isn't the problem

        @paulg I might add that curated high quality discussions and reporting are the good side of Twitter, not the trolling replies you hate

        @ikirigin If only it were mere trolling replies. Since "retweet with comment" it's trolling retweets.

        @paulg my point is Twitter moments can curate those experiences away. I do wonder sometimes how the notification tab changes for miniceleb

        @paulg I must use Expose 1,000 times a day. Can't believe you've never used it intentionally.

        @mikekijewski @paulg I agree, expose is fantastic. With hot corners it is incredibly easy to switch active windows

        @paulg full-screen mode in most apps; skip to next podcast from the middle of this one; escape sequences that render shell illegible.

        @paulg sorry but there's effectively no way you get into vim split screen by accident.

        @paulg caps lock in vim can be a great catalyst for accidentally enabling “features”

        @paulg nothing worse than expose because you have to sit in shame while the animation completes.
