#3 Re: Caps Lock Posted by endecotp (86.6.xx.xx) on Fri 21 Mar 2008 at 23:45 > You could always go for one of those Happy Hacker keyboards My problem with that one was that \ is in the "wrong" place. Of course you can always get used to a different layout, but it makes it a real pain when you have to use someone else's keyboard. There are some other mini-keyboards at keyboardco.co.uk. The one that I have is the "shortboard", which has all of the punctuation keys in the "right" places; it's actually very similar to many laptop layouts. What it gets wrong is putting its "fn" key bottom left, where "ctrl" normally is. But since I have mapped caps-lock to ctrl, and don't use the real ctrl key, that doesn't bother me much. Getting rid of the space where the numeric keypad was means that my arm moves much less far to reach the mouse. This is a huge benefit. The extra desk space that is freed didn't last for long before the clutter encroached....
