I'm using a Pok3r and the programming is great for remapping keys - I definitely need Ctrl on Capslock. I bought it because my Unicomp was taking up too much desktop space.
To get to the point: Even as an Emacs user I am missing the arrow keys and Insert and Home. Tenkeyless is better.
So for me the above keyboard wouldn't be the ultimate hacking keyboard.
- snide 8y agoI use caps as my modifier. Then I can CAPS+HJKL for arrow keys. I'm a vim user though so this already feels pretty natural to me.
- fenwick67 8y agoI use CAPS+IJKL on my pok3r (the defaults) and I love it.
- btschaegg 8y agoSame here (just with a different keyboard). Plus you can establish a few mappings more and get a minimalistic "Vim layer" going that works everywhere (say mapping caps+w to ctrl-right). That's great if you're stranded in Windows and have no options to opt for Vim-like input on almost all text widgets.

- diffeomorphism 8y agoMaybe a naive question, but why should one reprogram keys in hardware instead of software (xmodmap, xkb, xcape etc.)?
- mondalaci 8y agoHardware level configuration is beneficial if you switch between computers, (especially which you don't have control over) on a regular basis.
- ake1 8y agoto have it transfer between different computers i would assume.
- 13415 8y agoI dual boot Windows and Linux, and remapping on both platforms consistently (incl. system updates, etc.) is a pain in the ass. I also need to use a remote desktop connection with a normal keyboard from time to time, which makes the software solution even more annoying.
