What's with these stupid keyboard layouts?

[Chaotic42]

You know what I mean. The ones with the backslash by the shift, a half sized
backspace, and huge enter key. Strangely enough, my new MS Internet Keyboard
(My oooooold keyboard just died) is the way I like it. If only I could get
the internet keys to work in Debian.

Just a rant. I wish I could hard code it for the Dvorak layout. I can't even
switch the keys!

Why are you so stupid?

Your stupid!

No you are!

Uh uh, YOU are!

Why you little...!






Me asking my keyboard that very question

You know keyboard preferences are as indivual as users are. my love is always for the old AT style IBM keyboards, with thier nice clickety-click, heavy duty keys...

and where can i get an old 101 (or so) key keyboard??? i hate these (new) windows buttons that get in the way and i NEVER use.

personally i have to have backslash above a bar shaped enter key. I cant deal with the l shaped ones. Basically the layout of the microsoft, logitech keyboards, and ibm keyboards is what i like. i dont get why everyone doesnt just use that layout though it seems that is the way itsbecoming

Go to Fry's, they have old Keyboards for $2.99. You can also pick up old mice there for $2.99. I've got a Dell Quiet Key which I purchased there for $2.99, my old Compaq one is now a mdoded glowing machine

Yeah, the control key and caps lock should be switched too. Dunno why they're where they are.
