Key function layout for HHKB Professional 2?
« on: Wed, 28 January 2015, 17:27:41 »
Just received my HHKB today and I'm struggling to figure out the corresponding keys for the FN key. I'm embarrassed to admit I can't even figure out how to use CTRL :/

Could anyone please provide me with a map of the keyboard's functions (FN+key = ) or a list?

Thanks so much in advance.

Here's the image that I used to learn the hhkb layout, found it very helpful to print this out and have it under my keyboard so I can get access to it whenever I need. The keys on the front are the ones in the Fn layer. Please note that that the Vol+-, mute and eject keys only work in Mac OS.

Control on the left side of row C, where Caps Lock is on some other keyboards.

And Backspace is generally just above Return (which I've just realised is primarily labelled Return rather than Enter), where \| is on standard ANSI layouts.
"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
