Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

I will often turn off 1PD if I need to back up at low speeds in a sensitive space or if I need to control coasting at low speeds.
In the Ford, there’s a bit of an “activation energy” to overcome before the vehicle starts to move while in 1PD, and at low speeds, this can be weird to manage. Especially if you’re also focused on other things like not running into objects, etc.

In other words, while I use 1PD for most of my driving, there are certain situations where I find it’s not the best mode to be in. I really hope Scout includes a way to quickly and easily change modes. I don’t care if it’s paddles, toggle switches on the panel, or some other physical approach. Ford put the mode toggle behind a couple of touchscreen menu options, which is annoying, especially when I’m doing work that requires gloves and I have to remove them to toggle the 1PD on or off.

This is great info to learn

Ok, while on the topic of keyboards (sorry, found this and thought it was super interesting).

That’s very cool to see

Nope not even then. When I used to be really busy it would not be uncommon to transcribe 100 to 150 pages in a day. I need to be fast not looking at PBY, as much as I love it.

I think PBY would make you faster

 

[J Alynn]

Ok ok.

I know what it is.

But... each, and every time I see PBY, I see "Peanut Butter Yellow" first.

Anyone else see PBY and read that each time? No? Just me?

Or maybe thats more parental trauma again?

Pale banana yellow

Now I do! Thanks a lot @Logan . At least it's not BSY.

You are thinking of BSG on the silo color

 

[J Alynn]

I see it as Peanut Butter and Yams.

Parental trauma.

@cyure causing a lot of PTSD on this thread

Oh, come on! That green is better than BSG!

Battle Star Galactica? I always thought of that as grey, not green.

It looks so weird, I wonder how long it would take to be quicker typing with that compared to the QWERTY layout when you're not used to it.

If you’re going to switch layouts, go with Dvorak, which is designed for speed and efficiency.

I actually like the silo. I generally don’t like green on cars but I voted the silo as my first choice just because it’s unique

This is completely out of hand now!!!
