in thread Better keyboard-driven navigation, any?
Err, well... I have:
- a 15 yo keyboard for my desktop: if you ask me, it's nearly perfect. Again, I'm not that kind of "extreme" hacker who cherishes HHKBs, but let's say that on the spectrum having such beasts on the one hand and M$, Logitech and other "smart" keyboards on the other one, my tastes are much shifted towards the former. (I dont' like "fancy" buttons, and too many of them, in general.) To be fair, I've used at work an equally old (more or less) Model M keyboard which I must say, was far superior as far as tactile sensation is concerned;
- the keyboard of my Toshiba laptop, which is the one I've used most and often exclusively the last two years, and I'm now comfortable with;
- the keyboard of the Eee: I'm not making a review now, but I'll say it's fine and all as far as I'm concerned. Of course, due to its size, some keys had to be implemented by means of an Fn modifier; precisely: <, >, PagUp, PagDn, Home, End, plus the numeric keypad (which I'm never using anyway but for ALT+NUM insertions) as on most (all?) portable PCs. Since I tend to use these keys quite often, it is slightly annoying especially in the position(s) I frequently described in this thread, that is lying in bed, for the Fn modifier is on the left and the modifiable keys -but the first two- on the right, which forces me to use both hands to press one of them. Even more annoying is >, which requires Fn+Shift+z, and they're all adiacent each other. Perhaps, they should have put > on x instead.
