No, for when coding at night tired, when replying to email and uncertain about the spelling, etc. You like color for looks? I like color for function.

  Still, if one must have pre-typing spelling assistance instead of just spelling it wrong and correcting it afterward, seems like something you'd be better off putting on-screen where you're actually looking, rather than displaying it on the keyboard where you typically not looking. Even if you do look down you'd need to move your hands out of the way to see which key is glowing. For me, backlit keys are useful to set my hands in the right place, and then I stop looking at them. When I have them change color, it's a reminder of which keys in my fn-layer are bound to other functions like volume up/down and previous/play+pause/next.

    > rather than displaying it on the keyboard where you typically not looking I use a laptop and both the screen and keyboard are in my field of vision. If the most probably key was highlighted, I believe I could consciously (or subconsciously?) take advantage of that information > When I have them change color, it's a reminder of which keys in my fn-layer are bound to other functions so you are using the backlight as a whole, instead of the invidual key backlights - to match what you were saying, nothing that a popup couldn't display on the screen ("CONTROL_DOWN"...)
