Neat, I've never seen the link support from there before. And yes, I wasn't arguing in favour of using a full HTML DOM, but that potentially some simplicity-favouring middle-ground might allow new and interesting features. As you&

There are still desirable features that modern terminals struggle with, or provide in an inconsistent way because they all implement it with slightly different hacks. Some sort of common semantic markup/annotation would be useful to al

As long as it's covered, I'd hope everyone is bringing them in for servicing and repair as often as necessary, since that seems like the only way they'll take any action, if it costs them enough in support and refurb costs. P

If you plan to use capslock for anything else (some people do actually use it as caps-lock, and I have gotten used to it as an alternate Ctrl for Emacs use) it's definitely more of a pain. I've yet to encounter a single good use f

Did you clean them out yourself? There's very little room to use any sort of tool to clean under the keys without removing the caps, and from what I understand pulling the caps is a fairly risky procedure no matter how delicate. You ca

If it's just a keycap (and maybe even the butterfly mechanism) that shouldn't be too bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KuVvb9DTaU (from about 5:20) talks a bit about what's involved in an actual keyboard
