The F-keys are sunk with respect to the other keytops. Reaching them quickly and reliably is hard. And as an Emacs user, the escape key is out in comic relief territory.
Considering how often F-keys are used in Windows applications, I really wonder how much user testing the keyboard group did past "does this look cool?"
- noir_lord 11y agoInteresting, I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out but they are indeed further out than normal. I don't actually use them that much beyond Alt-F2 for synapse and Alt-F6 for rename which I've had no issues with. The escape key is out the way but I can it reliably without thinking, I have large hands so I wonder how people with smaller ones would deal with that, I can hit escape without moving from the default position.
