emacs keycap
« 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

Welcome to Geekhack!

You could post this in the keycap ideas thread, or even start an interest check!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

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
