I am old enough to remember that keyloggers used to be a stealthy install. Now users install them willingly, giving it full permissions. What an amazing future

- noxToken 9y agoIn the past, a keyboard was a physical thing with keypresses that were just keypresses. You could pick out what physical keyboard you wanted based on some preference, but it was up to the OS to determine input events from the keyboard. It's a whole different ballgame now. Aside from the spacing/layout/etc. preferences from a soft keyboard, they function differently. Samsung's default keyboard is by far the worst thing to work with from a development standpoint. I've never had an issue working with any other soft keyboard, but the way Samsung handles certain input events is orthogonal to other major keyboards.
- CodeWriter23 9y agoYeah, well I remember when I had to punch drivers in via the front panel before I could even use my keyboard.
- codedokode 9y agoOn the good side, those drivers didn't have Internet connection capability.

- DonHopkins 9y agoI wrote a Flakey Keyboard Simulator for the Apple ][ to annoy my brother.
- hinkley 9y agoI wanted a little USB dongle that would turn any keyboard into a Dvorak keyboard so I could make pair programming easier on our group (3 Dvorak typists out of 8 people). I found some, but I realized the hardware was basically a keylogger with a little extra code. Made me too uncomfortable to suggest it to my coworkers.
