Or what you are doing with your hands.
Typing.

Possible. That reminds me of a professor, I was fixing his computer, sat in
front of it, and asked him to type his password. He said he needed to sit in
front of the computer. I assumed he didn't want me seeing the password and
said "I'm looking away". He became quite agitated and insisted he couldn't
type at all without being in front of the keyboard. If he was blind I could
understand it.
He relied on muscle memory.
I doubt that's accurate enough to type a password. True, I can type words I'm
familiar with much faster, but I wouldn't rely on it.
I type my iMac password without much thought. My fingers just "know". And my
typing is crap.
I can do the same with many words. I can type commonly typed words very fast.
But it doesn't stop me being able to type them one letter at a time from
another angle like the professor failed to do.
Much the same. And sometimes my fingers type the wrong word. In this case with
perfect timing -- "sometimes" became "someone". Maybe I type that more often?
Mind you he was an American....
It is complex... but it does a LOT. I am out of practice with it, though.Globally? Spellchecks in Windows are per app.Or I suppose a really clever circuit that looked at the keypress being sent
and adjusted it accordingly. In fact it could then even spellcheck. Why don't
computers do that? My phone corrects spelling without asking, if it's obvious.
My computer only underlines in red (if the particular program does so).
macOS has it, and I have it on. Explains some of my typos. >>>>>>>>>>>>
There is a global one for macOS. Some apps ignore it.
Let Russia win, then we could have standards.
I like more how, say, Photoshop deals with a color picker. It has its own, BUT
you can also use the system one. That gives you the best of both worlds.
Agreed. Although I'd never use Photoshop, too complicated and slow. >>>>>>>
The layers piss me off.
I like them. And layer groups and smart layers and masking layers.
You must have a weird brain. You're making a 3D representation of a flat piece
of paper.
I can think in 3D.
I cannot. Well I'm better than some, but not very good.
I do not claim to be extraordinary with it... but basic layers are fine for me. Even some 3D modeling... though I have seen people do that better than I do (and they work with that stuff more).

I wonder if that type 3D rotational thinking is correlated with 3D layers?

No, I think rotation just requires intelligence (my neighbour is lysdexic), but layers requires better short term memory.

Rotation might be tied to a form of intelligence... spacial intelligence or something like that. Not sure layers require that much in terms of short term memory, but I can see where it is more than the rotational.
I know I am pretty good with both... but maybe not related at all.

My short term memory is about 2 registers. Makes it impossible to add numbers in my head. Not enough room for the two numbers and the result.

I particularly like the fact that Notes is stored in the iCloud so that nothing is lost from there if one erases one's hard drive!

Yes. 96. In my head I take one from 57 to make it 56 and add it to the 39. Then 56+40 is easily 50+40+6.

Longwinded, I just add the tens first - 50+30 is 80. Then the units - 7+9 is 16. The answer is eighty sixteen.
But I couldn't have done that if you spoke the numbers to me. I would forget one while manipulating.
So what in day to day life is difficult?
