Project mention: Key remapping to vim navigation and more | /r/Fedora | 2023-12-04

I use keyd (https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) and what I've done is remapped CapsLock down holding to a modifier key that allows me to use vim navigation and more. So when I press CapsLock down I can use jkl; for navigation. I've also added u and i as page up and down. For browser back and forward use n and m. Just pressing CapsLock acts as an esc press.

Project mention: QMK and Keyboards | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-14

Gotta give a shoutout to kanata[1] which I have used daily for years at this point after giving up on QMK-powered keyboards.

QMK itself is great, but I was never able to find a non-columnar split ISO keyboard to use it with. Eventually I reluctantly settled on the Logitech K860[2] and I'm now happily using my favourite features from QMK with kanata at the software level.

[2]: If I'm behind the times and there is now a QMK-compatible keyboard that looks like this, please let me know!

Project mention: Svalboard Typing Demo :D | /r/olkb | 2023-06-30

dude I really think you should consider a sideways-mounted 5-way switch for the thumbs like I did on the fulcrum. I think it would work really well on this form factor

Project mention: Show HN: Screencast and accesibility app: KeyPress OSD | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-10

Hi, I'm Marius from Romania and I'm a physically disabled person developing open and closed source programs.

Personal site: https://marius.sucan.ro/

The app I would like to introduce is KeyPress OSD. One of my numerous health problem, I have a poor eyesight. To help myself and others with this problem, I developed KeyPress OSD: https://keypressosd.com/ .

It is made to improve the accessibility of edit fields, to help anyone with poor eyesight be able to see easier what they type.

As a side note, it is very useful for screen casting and making tutorials, as you can highlight key presses and mouse clicks and much more.

It is highly customizable and easy to use.

On the KeyPress OSD web site, you can download a trial period of 7 days. I have an old version on GitHub as well [freeware]: https://github.com/marius-sucan/KeyPress-OSD .

To see a demonstration, please watch my YouTube video here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKvhqTeb9sg

Feel free to try it out, comment and suggest improvements!

Best regards, Marius.
