If so: what are the downsides to this | approach? | keybored wrote: | The downside is that you would be touch-typing incorrectly? | Assuming that you would intend to use that mapping. | Supermancho wrote: | There are a bunch of developers who review keyboards on youtube, | so this was rather disappointing. | Mountain_Skies wrote: | Every time I see that Apple keyboard, I can't help but be | reminded of the chicklet keyboards of the 8-bit era. Everything | old is new again. | antod wrote: | I thought this was going to be about pinball. | vermilingua wrote: | I've tried using AutoHotkey to replicate space cadet shift on | windows to no avail (very unresponsive). Does anyone know a way | to get it working? | __mharrison__ wrote: | I used EmacsEverywhere with ahk. It generally works great. | Sometimes while an holding down ctr-f (or b) it sticks in an f | (or b) instead of moving the curiosity forward (or back). I'm | pretty happy with it though. | | (Don't hate me. Years of Emacs usage is hard to overcome. I | even made Emacs bindings for Davinci Resolve...) | WalterGR wrote: | > very unresponsive | | AutoHotkey seems to operate at a pretty high level in Windows' | input processing stuff. There are lower-level APIs and tools | available, but which behaviors are you trying to replicate? | vermilingua wrote: | All I really want is to have each shift bound to parentheses | on tap. This was exceptionally easy to do in Mac (Karabiner) | but seems halfway to impossible on Windows. | | AHK has usually worked for me in the past for rebindings, but | this problem in particular seems to be too much for it. | xixixao wrote: | This details how to allow for single "modifier + key" combo for | opening apps instead of alt-tabbing. | | That sounds pretty awesome actually! ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-05-15 23:00 UTC)
