We have both Linux and Windows machines in my team. We do all the work in Linux, and register hours in Windows. We also all have iPhones that we only use for 2FA.

Maybe Vanilla OS will be of interest?

I really enjoy the split spacebars. I use those for layers: hold for a navigation layer on one, for some UI and function keys on the other. With the remapping software Keyd. If the split spacebars are not a thing for you, then I’m inclined to think the Shinobi is nicer, given the palmrest and sound profile.

TIL! Thank you!

I think you have to alternate the quotations you use between doubles and singles, pairwise. Else the first pair is closed after --format.

So you have to use a pattern like “command level 1 ‘level 2 “level 3” more level 2’ more level 1”

Does that make sense?

Nope, just a new logo on an existing key.

Immerge more! Hide the task bar, use only desktop icons to launch your games.

Alas, often, no. Just another logo we can’t be rid of.

In some cases, the Copilot key will replace the Menu key or the right Control key, a Microsoft spokesperson told CNBC in an email. Some larger computers will have enough room for both the Copilot key and the right Control key, the spokesperson said.

Super nice project!

The custom keycaps, that’s a dream. I’d love if there was a good method for that. I laser cut my board myself, too (but at a mkser space), and would love to make custom keycaps for it.

To speed up the process and perhaps get less errors, could you possibly do all of them at once?

Since you cut the plate, you have the drawing, so you could place the legends appropriately on that, then place keycaps on all switches and press play?

Maybe you could start with small dots on four corner keycaps in one go to calibrate/not risk bad prints on a full keycap set.

That’s a great question - sorry for the slow reply! I bought some from a mechanical keyboard online shop that had a sale, but maybe you can find some as cheap elsewhere.

I bought SPRiT MX Multistage 55 M1 and SPRiT MX Extreme 45s Slow springs. I’m thinking I’ll try the 55g ones first. They were just really cheap, so I bought the 45g, too.

I like the U4Ts (there is a also a silent version called “U4Ts”, just FYI.)

I haven’t tried a ton of switches either, but the U4Ts are the tactile switches I have tried that I like the most for their noticeable tactility. And I’ve been using 68g, which maybe even hides some tactility. So I’ve bought some 55g two-staged springs I want to swap to.

If you don’t know it, then there is an immense collection of switch reviews which also covers the U4Ts: https://github.com/ThereminGoat/switch-scores/blob/master/U4T (62g).pdf

What have you tried that you didn’t like? And did you consider swapping springs in some that you do like? Then you can those as light as you’d like.

Did you try Gazzew U4T?

Did you check if there is a bios setting related to suspend, and that it’s set properly?

Thanks for the suggestion! It could sound like the timing might be a bit unfortunate, though: https://planet.kde.org/nate-graham-2023-11-25-this-week-in-kde-the-plasma-6-feature-freeze-approaches/

It’s the purpose of the laptops where I work :D We run everything on development servers, so the laptops just run your editor of choice, basically.

I think you can get those key placements on the Shura? If you look at this layout options image and think to apply the green and blue swaps, isn’t that HHKB on all but the bottom row?

Perhaps the TEX Shura?

It has a number of options for keys on various positions. The bottom row also works for some “unsopprted” combinations of keys, e.g. With 2u spacebars and different mods on the outside.

Fair warning though: using the trackpoint requires either using the standard keycaps, or cutting into your own. Similarly the arrow key cluster uses 0.8u keys, meaning you need to shave off parts of regular keycaps. I’ve down this to use Cherry profile caps.

SSH into a stronger machine.

I don’t think it does. It didn’t when I checked a year ago, at least. You couldn’t get live previews on the workspace pop-up.

Can you point me to the feature you refer to? If it really does this, it would be a major game changer for me.

Kvantum?
