You should absolutely rebind Caps Lock to Ctrl.
I guess it's time once again to mention the Kinesis Advantage keyboard on HN. You can rebind every key. You can rebind control and meta to keys that are under your thumbs, and put one copy under each thumb so you don't have to use the same thumb all the time. And everyone who walks by your desk will have an excuse to start a conversation about your incredibly strange keyboard.
- joeclark77 12y agoLooks interesting, but at $269 I don't think I'll be able to try one out. Maybe after I make that first million. Glad to hear my instinct about capslock isn't crazy.
- mechanical_fish 12y agoIf you think that's bad, don't get me started on chairs and desks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=105026 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=105026 (Incidentally, since writing that N years ago a physical therapist talked me out of the Aeron, which has poor upper back support. I've got a Steelcase Leap now.) If you ever find yourself getting a job as a programmer, convince them to buy you a fancy keyboard and a proper chair and some Ergotron products. These things all last at least half a decade, so it's not as if you're spending that money every month. Or buy them yourself... But if your company can't be convinced to budget $750 per year to keep you healthy and happy as you sit at your desk all day pounding out code for them at ludicrous speed, I've got bad news about your company.
