I was just reading this thread… https://sh.itjust.works/post/23476261

…and it got me thinking about something that I’ve wanted for a long time. Why is it that keyboards have not evolved to have dedicated copy/paste keys left of the main board? I’d love to see an additional column of keys left of Esc->Ctrl configurable as macros at least. I do a lot of copy/paste for work. The current shortcuts arent terrible or anything but they’re not exactly comfortable. I’d rather move my whole hand to the left for a macro key than contort to hit the current shortcut.

What do you think?

    Oh man, you were born too late for the wild 90s era of experimental keyboards

      While it doesn’t have a copy and paste key, my omnikey ultra is certainly wacky.

      I was young, but definitely using computers in the 90’s. I remember some wacky stuff.
