Title: [IC] Emacs symbol keycap
Post by: lcs on Mon, 09 September 2013, 21:51:16
I would like to know if there is interest in having a GB for an emacs symbol R1 cap.

As we have the one for vim (http://techkeys.us/products/vim-glow-in-dark-key) (much cooler :'(), I was thinking of making a batch order to qwerkeys of the emacs symbol:

I think the ideal would be to just take the white 'E' and print it on their purple cap.

Would you guys want one?

Actually why I don't like vim (that and org-mode).

You could always try evil or something like that and become member of the emacs master race.

Modes are the key to vim's power.  I've given vanilla emacs a genuine try, as well as its various vi emultaion modes and plugins, but none of them are as expressive as vim's modal interface.

I do have emacs style key bindings set up for vim in Insert mode. (Ctrl-A/E/K, etc.)

Seems only us two like it :P

Here is the symbol I thought:

[attach=1]

I just have to discover if wasd keys can print it in white, as all the examples on their website are black  :blank:

They can do white on black pretty well.  OEM profile, FWIW.

I'd probably buy one (even if I am more of a vimmer). Still respect it.
