there's a growing adoption of keyboards with custom firmware– programmable keyboards

  1. There's an error
  2. You have computers? We have computers to send keystrokes to our computers!

Edit: i mean, there's software to remap your keyboard.

I have a typematrix keyboard.

Hey, this is one of the reasons I bought this keyboard!

For a couple extra bucks you can get them to make each individual key a separate key code by asking them to convert it to Single Usage Code Firmware, which is so nifty to me!

This isn't a thing already? This is why people don't take linux seriously.

You must be a mac user then because it doesn't make any sense to have that criticism as a windows user lmao

I used to have a Linux keyboard (with Tux instead of the Windows logo on super) with dedicated copy and paste keys. As far as I recall I never used them.

On old keyboards with those dedicated Copy/Paste keys, they weren’t easy to reach.

Now with programmable keyboards and layers, they can be as convenient as Control C & V.

On the software side, there were many years where they weren’t well-supported, but that’s changing now.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
