The Breakers - this is the Rockefeller’s summer home in Newport. It’s open for tours, and though I don’t recall the prices being crazy, it’s definitely been a while.

It’s so ostentatious and over the top, but beautiful, and full of wonderfully made things.

I think it’s interesting to consider our modern billionaire class as equivalents to Rockefeller’s gilded age.

Oh, and while you’re in RI make sure to get a Del’s frozen lemonade.

Let’s see if piped does shorts

Yep!

So, how was it?

[–] RustedSwitch 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the GUI key is tapped twice it switches to the windows base layer, double tap again and it goes to the Mac OS (default) layer. This is done using a “tap dance”, look for “td” in the map to find it.

This could easily a game changer for me! My brain warps whenever I require a multi key/layer function, while I’m connected to a windows box from my mac.

I think you can share layouts from FK Caps

Nice, I’m on mobile but will make a note to check this out later.

Honestly, this project, caps, and key map… I feel like you are me, lol

I have an updated set of caps that I’ll order soon, I’m currently tinkering with the backlight glyphs. Still not quite satisfied.

Do you know if their system allows to share designs as a starting point? I know you can save for later.

I like your caps idea, I toyed with dye sublimation but then decided against that (clear stickers would have been way easier).

Thanks! I was happy-ish with the result. I created the font from a handwritten script I use when I send greeting cards. I didn’t find a way to keep the ink from rubbing off though, so they never lasted very long. I tried lacquering them, but likely didn’t do a very good job - I can be aggravatingly impatient.

My encoders are mostly mapped to arrow keys.

I think that’s almost what I’d do too - I’d like an easier way to select text when composing email/whatever, so I dream of a single key whole-word select function. I’d map it to a (variable) shift arrow, depending on whether I’m on the MacBook or the windows box.

Side note - I noticed your map has both windows and Mac specific commands - I didn’t know that was possible. Are these separate layers, or is the keyboard somehow aware of the OS it is attached to?

i can’t remember their name right now, but these are the custom MBK caps, yeah? I’ve been designing a similar set, where the layer characters are on the caps. I actually printed up transparent stickers in 2020 with this goal in mind.

Also, what do you have the scrollers mapped to?

The one on the left and I’m ready to die on this hill

Good sir, I choose to ask what Thanos has to do with this.

Does anyone remember Theranos? I'll believe it when they provide objective results.

I choose to interpret your statement to mean you will believe this statement once theranos provides objective results.

This is the way

Most of the services I use are on the web anyway, so the platform doesn’t block me from doing much.

I’d like a little more root access for advanced automation, but the built in tools are getting better all the time.

That said, I like the effort that app developers put into their products, and I prefer the hardware design. Personal preference type stuff.

Nothing but love. I know better than to think I’m going to convince anyone. And honestly, I think everyone has the right to personal preference.
