Emily's First Document

Last weekend my daughter took an unusual interest in my keyboard. Usually she'll want to reach up and randomly mash a few keys and then walk away, but this time she climbed into my lap and seriously started typing. Or a toddler's approximation of typing, anyway.

So, I fired up Kate, opened a blank document, and let her at it. When I decided she was done I saved the file and sent her on her way.

Here's what she came up with:

I'm kind of impressed, because she managed to hit several multi-key shortcuts. At the top there you can see how she figured out copy and paste... or perhaps there's a simple "repeat last line" shortcut in Kate that I don't know about. Pretty cool, either way. She also managed, in the course of creating this document, to lock my computer (Ctrl+Alt+L) so that I had to type my password in order for her to continue, switched windows a few times with Alt-Tab, threw Kate into Fullscreen mode (Ctrl+Shift+F), and inadvertently performed a few other tricks that I don't even remember right now. She launched Katapult at one point.

She's gonna grow up to be one of those kids who owns everyone at fighting games just by mashing buttons, I know it.
