OK, which absolute idiot decided that the ~ key and the enter key should be next to one another.

I am attempting to type
```
rm -rf ~/config/nvim/.git
```
As I hit ~ , my pinkie finger also rolls onto enter!!!!!

Yep,
```
rm -rf ~
```
OH SHIT.

I am totally screwed right now.

Not for this reason, but I always use a Mac (UK or US/ABC Extended) layout, or US on my Win (WSL) or Linux machines. This just adds to my list of reasons as to why I prefer these layout.

To your point, I remember one of the first things I learned about Linux and the rm command was to always do a dry/interactive -i run, then press up on your console/shell and change the command because of how destructive it can be. In practice over nearly 20 years, I never gave a sh!t though, but perhaps a reminder why I should.
