Yeah well, given that mouse acceleration tends to be on by default, I need to turn it off every time I'm on a fresh install or computer I haven't used before. The last time I needed that was yesterday.

I don't want to waste time searching for a command to copy-paste when it could just be made short, simple, memorable and ergonomic. I could type xset m 0 0 faster than I could open a browser and ask google how to disable acceleration with libinput. And again: you can't just copy-paste the xinput command unless you're lucky enough that it matches your device. On my new computer, the device has a different name than on my old laptop even though it's the same damn mouse.
