Hang out, vape the THC, devour that chicken! OP, this is amazing hosting!

We have both Linux and Windows machines in my team. We do all the work in Linux, and register hours in Windows. We also all have iPhones that we only use for 2FA.

I like GNOME. I make it look good and provide a great workflow.

Maybe Vanilla OS will be of interest?

I really enjoy the split spacebars. I use those for layers: hold for a navigation layer on one, for some UI and function keys on the other. With the remapping software Keyd. If the split spacebars are not a thing for you, then I’m inclined to think the Shinobi is nicer, given the palmrest and sound profile.

I never noticed any issues.

Half the reason I root is to get rid of that bloody bar on Pixel. Poor Samsung users!

TIL! Thank you!

I think you have to alternate the quotations you use between doubles and singles, pairwise. Else the first pair is closed after --format.

So you have to use a pattern like “command level 1 ‘level 2 “level 3” more level 2’ more level 1”

Does that make sense?

Nope, just a new logo on an existing key.

A very interesting read, and really cool looking! I’d really like to try the keycaps in v. 0.3!

I’m curious about this point:

With square keys, each key has eight neighbours, but the diagonal neighbours are about 1.4 times further away than orthogonal ones and therefore harder to reach for the same finger.

Say I arrange square keys in columns with a 0.5u offset. Then each key also only has six neighbors. I wonder how that compares distance-wide to hexagonal keys.

Edit: the Klacker BS does this, but offsets the rows instead.

I have the same, but Netflix is then a miserable experience on my 4K TV.

Thanks :)

Yes, I do! I enjoyed a cardboard prototype before, and only just finished this. I really like it. The fit is great, and I like the sound. I gave it some small feet in the back (some 3mm foam tape) to lift it a bit from the table/deskmat, to get some more sound out - there’s zero space between the switches and bottom plate… And I like the sound.

Switching to the prototype, I switched to Colemak, too. I’m still learning that. So I’m by no means a fast typist on it yet. But I already know better where the keys are on Colemak than I did on QWERTY, and I think the symmetric, column-staggered layout helped a lot with that.

Edit: I put up my .svg files here, in case they might be useful.

Cool! I just did a full Inkscape+laser-cutting build using MDF and acrylic. I’m still to write something up about it, though. In short, I used a 1,5 mm acrylic bottom cover, on top of that 2x 3mm MDF as “case” (minimum height with a 1,5mm plate), the top one supporting the plate, but with larger holes so the switch clamps fit, a 1,5mm acrylic plate, and finally another MDF layer on top of the plate, outlining the keys, for aesthetics and rigidity.

After having set up the keys, I used mainly offsets around those to do the outline etc.

Nice! If you haven’t bumped into it, then the build log of the Steel Tormentor and it’s cardboard prototype have been really illuminating for me.

Edit: Also, an Inkscape trick: you can set it’s zoom using a real ruler placed on the screen so it can show you your drawing real size. Then you can test button placement without having to print.

Depends on what they want. Inkscape is perfectly fine for plate design, which you can then lift using standoffs, like the Steel Tormentor.

How do you set up a Firefox search bar, if you don’t mind?

I’m being prompted to download Downloadfile.bin when I load the linked to URL.

Aha, interesting! This opens up an entirely new category of things to look for in thrift stores, for me. It hadn’t occurred to me that electrical typewriters would be of relevance! Thanks for the learning!

What, and they just fit?!

Edit: It looks great!
