An Open Tenkeyless Keyboard
The K-TYPE Keyboard purports to be a truly open keyboard at the software and hardware level. Can’t wait for this to come out because I want a tenkeyless with an extra row on the top and an extra row on the bottom.
Chez Scheme Now Open Source
The other night I was daydreaming about buying a Chez Scheme license so I checked up on their license costs.

#chez on Freenode is blessed though the channel doesn’t seem to be up yet.
This is all delightful.

Emacs Keyboard Design 29: More Standard
- The right side keys should remain in ANSI layout
- Complies with POLA
- Returned them
- Put CapsLock above Backspace
- SpaceFn makes you want to use TMK’s awesome firmware
- Remind my self that POLA is still an important goal
- How are people carrying their keyboards?
- A good keyboard body negates needs for a case
- Dell keyboards are a perfect example
- How similar is this to an ANSI layout
- Background color legend
- Green: Identical
- Yellow: Moved
- Turquoise: New
- Red: Removed
- Only the number pad was removed
- Background color legend
- Thoughts
- Every Emacs user who has reconfigured their modifier keys on a Windows or Mac laptop will be OK with this
- Every user who has used an ANSI layout will be OK with this
- Users who value the number pad will not be OK with this
- The modifier clusters make sense
Bind to Control-Meta-Super-Hyper in Emacs
To sate my curiosity, as you would expect, you can bind to Control-Meta-Super-Hyper in Emacs. Perfect. Xah explains how to maybe get Hyper on your keyboard. Good inspiration for building an Emacs keyboard. Nice to have another keyspace.
