Man, with a keyboard from keyboard.io, it might actually make vanilla Emacs easier to use!
I wonder why previous designs of keyboards, including typewriters, didn't make greater use of your thumbs. It's a good half of the functionality of your hand that most input devices blithely ignore, in favor of our pinky fingers?! On the surface that seems like an ergonomic catastrophe.
Does anyone have a good reason why keyboards are designed they way they are now?
- wapz 10y agoI just looked at keyboard.io. There is only space on the right hand?!?! I could never make that sacrifice.
- webmaven 10y agoThe Model 01 is reprogrammable. Add a space key for the left hand if you like.
- wapz 10y agoI don't know why they wouldn't make the space for both fingers. I used to use logitech software for programming keyboards and mouses but the software was so ram intensive for what it did (few keyboard binds). I'm sure this is not the case with a simple key re-binding but not for me unfortunately.
