What do the ɥsɐʇS buttons do?
‘stash’ is a command for the software ‘git’ which is something programmers use a lot. This GMK set has its modifier keys themed after that software. So the functionality of the keys is not really connected to what the text reads on them. In my case they happen to be shift and space.
They add names to the Death Note
I’m intrigued by that BS button. 🐂💩
Haha. They are themed after ASCII control characters. ‘BS’ stands for ‘backspace’. Maybe you’ll like the ‘F_ack’ key as well :)
You gonna drop a handwired on us and not show the matrix?
Lovely board, by the way. I just never learned to properly touch type, though on a board I know and like I can compose text at 70ish wpm, which is enough to get by. And I am too old, yes, too old to begin the training.
How do you like the inverted Cherry keycaps as spacebars/thumb keys? I like to hand-wire compact 1800 boards with no stabilizers, and the next one is designed around a cheap set of Cherry. The kitting has no extra convex spacebars, and unlike XDA I don’t think I would get used to regular Cherry keys there, so I’m planning to adopt the upside down practice from ergos/40s for my “spacebar” cluster.
If you follow the github link (https://github.com/codybloemhard/eliza) you will find a picture of the matrix! I really like the upside down mods for space bars. It depends a bit on how you angle your hands when you type, but if I put the ‘space bar’ modifiers in their regular orientation, the edge will dig into my thumb. One thing I would do differently is the position of the screws. Two of the screws are right where my thumb comes down on the board when I press down the space bars. This was slightly irritating and I had to get used to it.
Woah, where’s your shift and space? Also, those left right arrow placements are real good. Do you use vim by chance?
