I love the extra sets of "retro" caps. There's an extractor tool to make them easy to swap.Too bad #System76 didn't include a Ctrl key with the right shape to replace the useless Caps Lock key!

@codewiz The launch lite without the row with F-keys would things very hard here, I switch with [mod]+[F-something] all the time to other virtual screens in the sway window manager.

@AAMfP All keys are programmable anyway... you can add accented letters anywhere you like. The only problem is that they don't sell key caps with the matching engravings...https://system76.com/accessories/launch/download#system76

@codewiz I just noticed, mod/super+number here too actually, this is how less I actually watch it when hitting the keys..ctrl+cursor-right/left also for switching, but as that only switches between screens already in use I often mod+number to switch to fresh ones and run things there.IIRC you are on plasma, that one is preallocating the screens, sway is not doing that.

@codewizCool indeed.At the moment I'm actually thinking about a YMDK 65% with QMK-programmable PCB. They even have side-printed PBT keycaps with Italian ISO layout!https://fosstodon.org/@AAMfP/108890843150961762

@codewizIt would have been even nicer if they'd been QMK-compatible, instead of "wasting" man power for their own configurator, but indeed a nice keyboard.

@codewizWow! So they are only missing the ISO Italian. 😉 I'll add it to the list of nice keyboards providers. I have colleagues also searching for something similar, and not caring about Italian layout. Thanks!

For some reason, the default layout of the #system76 Launch keyboard has Alt-Fn-Super rather than the more canonical Fn-Super-Alt for PC keyboards.Here is how it compares to my trusty Happy Hacker Keyboard, on which I typed almost every day for the past 15 years 🥲

The layout chosen by #System76 also differs from regular Mac keyboards and canonical PC keyboards.I wonder if they were trying to make Ctrl and Alt easier to reach with the pinky?But I always remap Ctrl to Caps, so I can move Fn there. On keyboards without the F-key row, the Fn key gets used often.

@codewiz You have one row less than me, so Fn is more important.. for the bottom row I settled with crtl, ctrl, super, alt, space^2, alt, Fn, ctrl.Almost never using Fn.

@codewiz @patrick Emacs still support hyper and super. Super is available by default in Linux, although I have unbind all the default bindings that the desktop uses. For hyper you have to add the bindings manually.

@codewiz I wanted to make Hyper modifier out of one button once (I need more modifiers). Too bad KDE doesn't really understand it's a modifier. Or maybe I did it wrong, no idea. X is kinda a mess a times.

@codewiz@loke @patrick This keyboard is really interresting. But I'd never use it. Too much finger travel. Less is more. I have a keyboard with low key count and layers. This is game changer as it brings all keys close. So finger travel is minimized. And it changes everything.

@codewiz @colin_brosseau @patrick indeed. I used to work for Sun, which is why I use that as a reference. It's not the perfect keyboard. Ideally I'd want two rows of of f keys like the IBM keyboards do, but it's a good start.

@codewiz @loke @colin_brosseau @patrick IMHO, the Sun Type 5/5c keyboard was by far the best one for typing on. A real beaut.When the Type 5 was introduced circa 1992, a lot of the existing Sun userbase complained "but it isn't a Type 4 keyboard". Strange how change effects some, huh? To prove that point, I should admit that I found Sun's later Type 6 keyboard to be flimsy and utterly horrible to use!
