Hello #FOSS folks. How do you use three keyboard layouts under #KDE #Plasma? The traditional way of Alt+Shift to switch to the next layout is annoying.

Reposts are welcome if you don't know the answer.

It's hard to realize that the keyboard on #Lenovo #ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 is quite bad compared to the Gen 8 one.

I'm doing far more typos on this new keyboard than with the previous one, even after haven used it for several months. I thought I would get used to by now, but seems this will be a long journey get used to.

And the T14 Gen 1 keyboard is even better than the X1C Gen 8.

The issue? The key travel is too short and the key pressure resistance is getting shorter and lighter.

It's actually quite depressing to see what's happening to these keyboards.

In exciting personal news, I fixed my keyboard problem with a burst of compressed air. The culprit was a 1-cm segment of Shredded Wheat. #keyboard #fixit #cereal #tmi #computer

While I'm trying to get the PS/2 trackpad device working - at least the side projects work
Say hello to the KYB3R.ORTHO

Updated: Custom Keyboard Company WASD Keyboards Goes Defunct?

Can keyboard enthusiasts find answers to the questions we all have been wondering, has WASD Keyboards company gone out of business or was it acquired?

See update at the end of the post.

Question for folks who use multiple OSs and modern keyboards:

What do you call key key between Control and Alt on the left-hand side of your keyboard? I've been cringing since the key's mainstream acceptance every time I have fallen back to referring to it as the "Windows" key.

Its lesser-used companion over on the right, I have taken to calling the Menu key which is suitably OS-agnostic.

"OS Key" and "OEM Key" seem wrong. "Meta" isn't right, because that's Alt's alias, especially in Linuxland. "Function Key" would almost work but for the identically-named key on most laptop and small form factor keyboards.

"Macro Key"? "Shortcut Key"? "Super Key"?

How often do you try pressing "?" to see the keyboard shortcuts available on a web app? It works in a lot of apps, both free/libre and proprietary.
