seriously crippled. Its about 2.3 million times faster (rough guess) to
press a key (to switch to another view) than to turn your head. In
addition, you can get wiplash (or something similar) by turning your head
too much. Please explan why I'm wrong, if I am.
I have no knowedge of egonomics or HCI, but for a while I ran ardour on a
two monitor xinerama setup and it was very convienient. OTOH I find that I
need to turn to the ardour mixer window less often now, so maybe it was
just bad app design :)
