One of the most idiotic ideas I've seen recently. How to greatly annoy a user without even providing an option to turn this thing off.

- dmonitor 2y agoSounds like a devious prank to pull on a coworker. Flash their keyboard with firmware that has builtin cloud -> butt, or their -> there and vice-versa
- friend_Fernando 2y agoDwight -> Diapers
- Klaster_1 2y agoThere are options to turn this off - build and flash QMK with the feature turned off. A hotkey to toggle the feature doesn't seem impossible either.
- zer0x4d 2y agoAgreed. There is just too many limitations for it to be ever useful, unless you build out a large dictionary with a huge CPU cost... A true waste of effort, albeit a fun one if you wanna learn QMK programming
- devmor 2y agoIt doesn't seem useful to everyday computing but I imagine there are niche scenarios where it could be valuable. Stenography comes to mind, or perhaps some machine control or clerical application where there are a limited set of input words that are valid and free typing is rare or disallowed. A "sticky" modifier key (like caps lock, num lock, etc) that enables or disables it would vastly increase the value in a general situation though.
