HHKB Pro 2 DIP switch option
« on: Mon, 19 November 2012, 12:45:20 »
So I just placed an order for a KBT Pure having learned I could use the Fn just to the right of the space bar in conjunction with the O, K, L, and ; as arrow keys. Now I'm wondering re: the HHKB Pro 2 if can set the right (and only the right) Meta key to act as a Fn key (via the DIP switches.) This would let me use my thumb to access the arrow functions on the ;, ', [, and ? keys instead of my poor pinky (on the right Fn.)

Any HHKB owners do this or know if it can be done?

Cheers!

I don't think you can do that

Look at the chart there

Heh, that's actually the chart that made me think there might be a solution. But there really isn't anything there that suggests that the two keys are treated separately. So I think whiskerBox is correct. I am sad.

Thanks to you both.

I know it seems weird, but making the switch from a poker to an HHKB was very easy and I much prefer the arrow cluster on the HHKB.
