       Now that I got out of vim, any ideas whether the keys are fixable? How would one attempt a repair? Should I just but a replacement keyboard?#diy #repair

       @michal In case basic cleaning does not solve it, sometimes re-seating the keyboard ribbon to its connector helps. Other times I remapped some broken keys to less used ones, like mapping Caps Lock as ESC. If you find a solution, please consider sharing. Happy hacking!

       @matthew T440S, a new keyboard with backlight is already enroute (hopefully). At least I have a backup to experiment with.
