Re: DEC Ultrix Keyboard

Key repeat rate should really be handled at the host, not on the keyboard, in my view. There’s nothing more disruptive than random crazy when you’re holding keys. It’s always the unintended triggers that getcha! I’d implement a faster repeat for arrow keys in Karabiner, if I didn’t already use Alt t...

Re: Post your keyboard/keycaps!

I’m always thinking about making wired boards wireless, thanks to Hasu so revolutionising my HHKBs. I put in so much time on these guys because of how convenient and compelling they are. My Realforce could sorely need some of that love, but the great big beige USB A cable on it (uncoiled and hanging...

Re: Beam Spring 104+SSK Reproduction Project! First Batch In Stock, Shipping early next year after New Model F Project

My own way to handle SHOUT MODE is to put Caps Lock behind a macro: press both Shift keys to press Caps Lock. It’s immediately obvious when you think about it, dead easy to remember, and lets me use that precious key just left of A for something a hell of a lot more useful to me. :D Soarer told me t...

Indeed. I don’t know whether this comes from the NeXT or classic Apple side of the modern Mac’s parentage. If I ever fix up my SE/30, I should plug in two ADB keyboards and find out!

(Yes, my vintage Macintosh collection really is that small. I’m not nearly as into them as I am keyboards.)
