What is tap/hold?
I believe some people have done portable kinesis builds, which could be an option in tandem with a laptop.
- yuribro 6y agoThe most famous one is the dactyl[0]. I'm guessing you mean a portable kinesis advantage. There are some other kinesis keyboards which are portable. [0] https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard
- clarry 6y ago> What is tap/hold? Tap a key, get a symbol. Hold the key, get something else (perhaps a modifier).
- boogies 6y agoNot necessarily a symbol. I use "setxkbmap -option caps:super && xcape -e 'Super_L=Escape'" to make tapping Caps Lock simulate tapping Escape, and holding Caps Lock and pressing another key work as Super("Windows key") + that key in X11. (eg. Caps alone = exit insert mode in vi, Caps + Space = Super + Space for toggling the tiling layout in my window manager dwm.)
- jabroni_salad 6y agoA good example is the space cadet shift. If I tap left shift, I get an open parenthesis. If I hold it and use any other key, I get a capital letter. It's a lot nicer than hitting shift+9/0 and I got used to it in about 10 minutes. Any keyboard using the QMK keyboard firmware can do this.
