No. The PC keyboard is stuck in the 1980s. The only innovation being the upside down T arrangement of the arrow keys. A few years ago when I started using windows, I was told that I would quickly get used to the keyboard arrangement, but I have not.
Outside of work, I use Linux with AutoKey and xmodmap which is still painful but an improvement over the total inflexibility on win10.
Things that are broken:
Inconsistent hot keys.
Function keys.
Numlock.
Caps lock.
Shift key xor.
FIrst two letters often get capitalized.
Over strike mode.
Useless keys: scroll lock, insert, super.
An easy way to create your own layouts for multiple keyboards that get plugged in and out. We should be able to physically rearrange keys and the key code moves with the key.
- seansh 4y agoinput-mapper solved a lot of these problems in Linux for me, moving around the keys in any way I want and even scripting the keys, very easy to use and haven't had any problems yet. But there's so much you can do on the software side when the physical keyboard itself is limited to how the majority of people use it, and not necessary programmers.
