My keyboard’s modifiers suddenly went haywire—Command-A (⌘A) gave me å instead of Select All. No tab switching, no copy/paste. Yikes! I reset it, checked settings, searched online, even asked ChatGPT. Then I remembered — it’s got a physical switch for Windows mode! Flipped it back. Problem solved. 🤦‍♂️

Hey @manton, how come emojis can get counted as multiple characters in the editor but not when they're actually published? This post was 300 characters on the dot, but the editor counted it as 303. I wasn't sure if it would get truncated, and it didn't. (Btw, I'm still seeing some weird cursor jumping in this reply box as I type today on macOS.)

A computer screen displays a blog post editor on Micro.blog with 303/300 characters used. Text in the entry box describes keyboard modifier issues and their solution. The interface includes options like "Timeline" and "New Post" in a forest-themed background.

@jarrod I'm working on a fix for that. Some multi-byte emoji are being counted wrong in the editor.

@manton And I s'pose as long as I'm reporting bugs, it looks like the editor's preview for Markdown links is getting tripped up by URLs with @-usernames in them. (And the jumping cursor just deleted a bit of what I had written here. So weird!)

Text discusses a slowdown in new app releases for Apple's Vision Pro headset. Citing Appfigures and The Wall Street Journal, it notes a decrease from 300 apps in February to 10 in September.
