Yeah, since I made the rant I have learned to acually appreciate the F7
key, because the touchpad of the Acer is overly sensitive.

Seems to be enough that the casing bends a little...? Don't even have to
be near the touchpad of the cursor to jump around and what I'm typing
ending up in a different place before I can stop my fingers.

So the F7 key is kinda nice, once you're aware of it.

(but download and read the docs... nah, probably won't happen)
