I was just reading this thread… https://sh.itjust.works/post/23476261

…and it got me thinking about something that I’ve wanted for a long time. Why is it that keyboards have not evolved to have dedicated copy/paste keys left of the main board? I’d love to see an additional column of keys left of Esc->Ctrl configurable as macros at least. I do a lot of copy/paste for work. The current shortcuts arent terrible or anything but they’re not exactly comfortable. I’d rather move my whole hand to the left for a macro key than contort to hit the current shortcut.

What do you think?

    Are you an older millennial? I’m a younger millennial and I’ve never even so much as seen a typewriter in person let alone typed on one. We were taught to type in school though on computers.

      First, fuck you, hahahha, second, yes. Born in 1981, which AFAIK is the literal dividing year between Gen-X/Millennial.
