    You can make a keyboard shortcut in the settings that runs a script that simulates f7. From the top of my head

    Installydotool:

    yay -S ydotool
sudo systemctl enable --now ydotool

    Create script~/f7.sh:

    #!/bin/sh
ydotool key f7

    chmod +x ~/f7.sh

    Bind it via System Settings → Shortcuts → Custom Shortcuts → New → Script/Application.

    Set trigger to e.g.Ctrl+Shift+F, Action to/home/youruser/f7.sh.

    I’m just speaking for me, as a senior software architect with a decade of experience:

    • Solving problems is the fun part.
    • Designing a good architecture is the fun part.
    • Making sure the project is high quality, clean and elegant is the fun part.

    Typing all of that out (for momths and years mind you) is the boring part. For me typing is what comes after thinking. My brain goes into that adhd state where I have to pay enough attention to type the code, but not enough to be engaged. I’m getting so bored while typing code, I can’t sit still for 30 seconds. Time gets slow. I get uncomfortable. I keep being distracted. I start thinking about something else and start making stupid mistakes.

    I much rather explain my vision, architecture and solution in a detailed text (which helps me think about it in more detai) and then do hours of code review (guess I’m weird for liking that) and “thats wrong, redo it” until I’m happy then type all of that out myself.

    There is a lot I hate about “AI”, but sparing me from that rage-inducing manual slave labour is not one of those.

    If I could hire a human to do the typing I’d do it. But an LLM subscription is so much cheaper than even the worst apprentice.
