Until you get crumbs under the keys...
EDIT: "a wireless, powerless keyboard where every key's click is tuned to a slightly different sound" hang on, like a piano?
- brownbat 13y ago> hang on, like a piano Starbucks is about to get a lot noisier. :)
- namecast 13y agoHeh, I just visualized my laptop keyboard transposed onto an 88 key piano, and then tried to imagine what a typical vim session would sound like on it...
- tmp123415 13y agoThis must be done.
- nitrogen 13y agoMany MIDI virtual keyboard apps provide a mapping to the PC keyboard. Install one of those, (e.g. apt-get install vkeybd), plus a softsynth (e.g. ZynAddSubFX). Done.
- e12e 13y agoObviously Emacs sessions would sound better, as Emacs already is set up to use chords...
- thirdsight 13y agoFunny :) As long as you hit middle C1 on every chord regardless of whether or not it's a duff chord or not... At least with vi, you can play one fingered and make an acceptable tune ;) Sure Douglas Hofstadter could write a book about that...
- TheCraiggers 13y agoI think tones in our hearing range would be a bad idea. From what I remember of my music theory class, our brains (through either nature or nurture) don't like discordant sounds like that for a long time. In fact, I believe it's been used as a torture device in the past, although I'm guessing it wasn't just a weird jumble of notes in that case. I don't think I'd be very good at programming in any case.
- im3w1l 13y agoClick noises have no real tone character so could probably work. My keyboard already makes those anyway.
- TheCraiggers 13y agoTrue, but as you alluded to yourself, those aren't really 'tones'. The parent was talking about a keyboard that sounded like a piano.
