Title: emacs keycap
Post by: Eremox on Tue, 07 April 2015, 00:49:39
Why hasn't there been a group buy with emacs keycaps? I mean there are vim ones...

I do know that it's not the prettiest key design but i bet some of you more experienced could refine it. Both the colors and the logo.

I hope that someone will be inspired to start a GB.

The real question is: why haven't you switched to vim yet?

Why would I know lisp so I can customize emacs better than I can with vim and I also think it would be counter productive to learn a new editor when that might slow me down for a few weeks.  ;) Also emacs are for the enlightened ones.  >:D

Emacs keycap should be sized 1,25 - bottom row -since it's an operating system?  :D

Nah, 1.25u because that's the traditional size of the modifier keys, which you press so much when using it  ;D

The only key combination useful for emacs is alt-F4
