Hmm, do they have keyboards that fix up the arrow key cluster? Either all half-height (plus page up/down above the left/right keys) or all full-height?

- tuukkah 3y agoHalf-height should be easy as the up/down keys are half-height already, and there would be no need for new holes. Wiring for two additional keys can't be that difficult either. Dedicated page up and page down keys would be really practical.
- dathinab 3y agono it's the curse of semi-13" laptops their 16" laptop doesn't have this problem they could produce a keyboard where right shift is smaller and you have a full up key but UP/DOWN would still be missing and moving the key further down would lead to other ergonomic problems You can work around this by switching some function keys with UP/DOWN (or POS1/END or both). e.g. in a custom XKB key map (you can just extend e.g us, place it under .config/xkb/symbols) you can use following to switch Pos1/End and F9/F10: key <FK09> { [ Home, Home ] }; key <FK10> { [ End, End ] }; key <HOME> { [ F9, F9 ] }; key <END> { [ F10, F10 ] }; it's one of this "not hard if you happen to know how to do it" linux things
