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?

    Cool stuff!

    now defunct slackware based distro called Zenwalk

    Seems to me like it’s a very much alive project still?

    There needs to be a cool word for people who started with Linux in the same year lol. 🙂

    Yeah! How about:

    1. Linlings
    2. Liblings
    3. Linwins
    4. Lwins

    This was hard…

      It looked dead to me, but the domain still works etc so maybe I’m wrong. Last blog post looks to be a year old FWIW.

      I think I like Linwins, despite the unintentional Windows reference there. 😁

      You came up with better ones than I would have though. :)

        😄 I personally like Linlings, I think… Anyway, thanks for sharing!
