kjuh :antifa:🇺🇦🇪🇺🇩🇪🌻<p>Are there any modern mechanical keyboards with a numpad that has cursor/navigation layered, but no additional cursor keys? Similar to the original PC/XT layout? I can’t seem to find any, which baffles me, because otherwise keyboard nerds seem to love layering. But either there’s a numpad PLUS redundant additional cursor keys or no numpad. Why not the best of both worlds???<br><a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/MechanicalKeyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MechanicalKeyboard</span></a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/Keyboards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Keyboards</span></a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/KeyboardLayout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KeyboardLayout</span></a></p>
Sebastian Hahn 🟧<p>Hmmmmmm, am I the only one to wonder why computer keyboards have put the „0“ to the far right and the „1“ to the far left?

bono<p>Stupid Apple Keyboard layout! :meowNeutral: I much prefer the Windows one.</p><p>So, we don’t want “CTRL”; let’s rename it “command.” Okie-dokey. And let’s have a “control” button also! :blobcatgoogly: </p><p>Knock off the “alt” button and have “option” instead! Oh wait, people may get confused. We’ll write both names on the keys for clarity! 😌</p><p>And let’s draw confusing icons on each of these keys for easier identification! :akko_shrug: </p><p>And while we’re at that, how about knocking off a few important buttons people are used to, like “Home”, “End”, “PageUp”, “PageDown”.</p><p>Lastly, do people really need a button for Backspace and another for Delete? We’ll get them to adjust with just one! 😉</p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://nixnet.social/tag/applekeyboardlayout" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AppleKeyboardLayout</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://nixnet.social/tag/keyboardlayout" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KeyboardLayout</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://nixnet.social/tag/apple" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a></p><p><strong>Edit:</strong> Okay, I was just informed that Apple got there first.
