A true Unix keyboard - dunz0r - 29-07-2014

Just found this project on github.

It's a modified Filco Minila with a custom firmware. You can tell the creator has really thought about stuff, it even has a "Tmux"-key.

Looks really sweet. Totally want one.

How would your "unix keyboard" look?

Mine would probably be similiar to Johns, but without the arrows, I'd map them to Fn+hjkl since I'm a vim biggot.

Where is Sysrq? That's the only key that has been preserved through time, even on Window™ keyboard, and that is only used on unix-y systems.

Hmm... you're right, it's missing. It isn't in some hidden layer in the firmware either.

Fixed. https://github.com/jonhiggs/ml62/commit/e6353792f96d0d2164f3ad9b522b2cbafd94429e :)

It makes no difference to me for the moment but I think I'll want it in the future.

I'm glad you like my keyboard.

Amazing, now you got a true unix keyboard. I wouldn't have imagined the dev to directly reply in this thread, this is so cool.
