Title: Vim keycap
Post by: oneproduct on Sun, 29 April 2012, 21:21:04

Looking for one of the spherical Vim keycaps from 7bit's group buy round 3. Would have to be shipped to Canada.

Good luck, I'm after one of these too. Was going to be in round 4 GB but got cancelled :-(

Yeah, I really wanted the vimcaps. Whoever took over that part of the groupbuy needs to get those keys going. ;)

According to this thread the vim key is in the novelty groupbuy and the vimcaps is in the NOIR groupbuy, which it doesn't look like anyone took over...

Why not a 'linux/unix/gnu' GB?

I'm planning just such a GB.  Vim and emacs at least.  Open to other linuxey ideas.

Fantastic :-)

Some ideas (getting a bit off topic here but oh well):

-Bash
-Nmap eye
-KDE/Gnome
-FreeBSD devil
-'rm -r'

Personally, I wouldn't mind dyesub PBT over doubleshot ABS if possible.

Consider this "interest check" successful then! :D

Hmm, not sure what would be more cool for Vim. The logo dyesubbed on white would be pretty cool, but the original white doubleshot into green was pretty awesome looking too.

X2.

Maybe a "Sudo" or Su key :D

A stepped capslock, white on black doubleshot, with the vim logo to go with white on black Cherry doubleshots is what I'm hoping for.

I really like how the 2-shot vim key turned out.  I want to get it on a regular DCS keycap as well as the spherical caps from the previous round.  I like the rm -r idea to.

I'm up for variations too.  The caps lock idea is a good one.  I had it mapped to Esc for a long time for use in vim.  I was thinking modifiers as well since everyone has 1000 novelty Esc keys already.

If I wasn't already using caps lock for backspace colemak style I might have gone for it as an escape key. Shai Coleman (the guy who made colemak) uses the tab key rather than escape to exit modes. While I don't know if I'd want that either, it does remind me of how I really think that we need to get /something/ to replace the tab key one day in one of our group buys.

For now I'd be happy with Vim on escape since it's pretty symbolic, might be a bit hard to get the quantities needed for other locations I fear but you could always try of course. Also, if it was doubleshot on a green background, it would be too close to my green shifts from RGBY kits. :)

I'm still planning on it.  Been busy with wrapping the moogle buy (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?28923) and modding the switch testers (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?23914-Cherry-Switch-Tester-Holiday-Tour-2011!). :)

My Paypal will be maxed after Red Cherry and legend collection unfortunately.  I'm happy to organize and/or do SVGs to make it happen though, if we can find someone else to collect payments, or to hand over the reins to someone else.

I'm interested in linux keys too...
Maybe a "^[" key for escape?
