Thought I was going insane today.

You guys need to work on harder problems.

since this is a bit of a catch-all thread, i'll toss Anton into the ring: a whole bunch of custom ASICs to do Molecular Dynamics simulations from D.E. Shaw Research

I've been to aggressively remapping that I don't then create a similar problem when using another machine I don't own but maybe I'll give in and go the more custom route

well [ctrl] + <down arrow, F4, F5> are used for window management by default
