Today I learned:

Ctrl + Shift + W will log you out of spotify

i hit exactly the right combination of funky key combos and i got logged out... why would you have a keyboard shortcut bound by default for that?

You can use "showdebug devices" to list the currently connected gamepads in your game as well, and see what their assigned input/platform user ID's are!

You can use the "showdebug enhancedinput" to print out a display of the current state of your input in UE!

There is also "showdebug input" , which will give you the state of just the actual FKeys, not the input actions

I woke up at like 3:30 today and couldn't get back to sleep so I just eventually got bored and started working

Turns out that not hearing a slack ping go off every 15 minutes is really great for your productivity

Although I am posting on here so maybe not that great?
