I wonder if we should design keyboards to input the bullet point character (U+2022 •) instead of the backtick character (U+0060 `), which is currently the key above the tab key and to the left of the number 1.
Notes
- Why 1 • The bullet point is a very common symbol used in lists and HTML
- Why 2 • The bullet point character is an excellent information separator
- I wonder if the bullet point should be used as a data/table separator
- Column Data 1 • Column Data 2 • Column Data 3 • Column Data 4
- I wonder if the bullet point should be used as a better colon replacement
- Title of This Book • Cool Subtitle of This Book With a Really Long Name
- I wonder if the bullet point could even be used as a filename/URL separator
