- Rebecca, Michael recommend the Gateron Black Ink V2 keyswitches.

Among other thing, arttime’s main branch recently enabled Desktop Environment notifications for BSD using notify-send, and sounds using pulse-audio’s paplay. notify-send and paplay seem the most standard way to achieve this on BSD it seems, just like GNU/Linux. Is that assumption wrong? What percentage of BSD community use it with DE? In near future I will add a progress bar to add more visual cue given arttime now supports multiple goals and sprints. That would most importantly benefit users without DE.
