Here have a poll https://www.strawpoll.me/18594702
I'm probably going to add the R3 `@ key for UK-ISO, but I'm curious if there's enough desire for the R3 \| key for US-ISO to bother adding it.
Weeeeeeeell... as the kits stand now, I'm in a bit of a bind: on one hand, I would
very much like to see the R3
\| key included (required for
US English over ISO or ANSISO),
BUT on the other hand, the base kit has every keycap for full
UK English over ISO support EXCEPT the R3
'@ keycap, which
definitely should be present, given the rest of the UK-specific keycaps is already there. So if it comes to one or the other, you should go with the latter instead of the former (as much as it'd pain me).
On the gripping hand, the however, the Bonsai kit has the Hiragana alphas for just two of the keys required for UK English (R3
#~ and R4
\|), which puts this set in the weird position of having differing support for said national layout on each alpha set (5/6, with 6/6 being discussed, in the base set; 2/6 in the hiragana set); R3
\| isn't present, either.
In my opinion: if nothing else, support for UK English over ISO and/or US English over ISO or ANSISO should be the same in both sets of alphas (I know this might require scaling back support to avoid an overincrease of the total amount of keys).
With that said, there's one other thing that calls my attention in the base kit, which may be a mistake OR may be me being an ingorant dumbass: in R4, there are two Fn keys, 1.5U and 1.25U (okay so far), but they show up again in R3, in those same sizes. I'd understand a 1.75U Fn key (to take the place of Caps Lock) and a 1U Fn key (for some 17-column 79% and 69% layouts) but I don't remember seeing R3 Fn keys in the intermediate sizes before.
Finally, if it can be done, I'd add a couple 1U convex space keys in the spacebars kit (but this falls in the "nice to have" category, IMHO).
