@frameworkcomputer Beautiful. This is probably the least consequential thing I have strong feelings about lol

@gom @2d @frameworkcomputer please, no. We don't need a nipple on our laptops.

@alphasixtyfive
It's framework, the keyboard would be interchangable anyway.
@2d @frameworkcomputer

@alphasixtyfive @gom @2d @frameworkcomputer What about 3? I vote for n nipples that can be placed between any combination of keys.

@mattgriffin @frameworkcomputer 🎶 all things considered I couldn't be better I must say! 🎶

@frameworkcomputer on the topic of keyboards:

How the heck did it happen, that on the german FW13 you translated one of the "ctrl" keys into "strg", but didn't translate the other?

It's such an interesting quirk, that I only noticed after over a year of daily usage

@skaverat @frameworkcomputer wow thanks for pointing that out now i see all of the weird mixed language stuff on there xD

@skaverat @frameworkcomputer I had to read this twice. Then I looked at my own Framework.

I have mine for around half a year now and didn't notice this.

@cbleslie @frameworkcomputer Then you'd be almost able to replace Ctrl+Alt+Del with a Jim Bowen (Great+Super+Smashing)

@frameworkcomputer Still waiting for my Dvorak option. Even better with a super key.

@arack99 Interesting. Do you use a physical dvorak layout? I personally found it disastrous as just enough software doesn’t work with non-qwerty layouts, and I forgot where the qwerty keys were by touch within months. (I tried dvorak to fix wrist issues, and it worked immediately and *great* for 20 years now.)

@slembcke Depends what you mean by physical.. I don't use hard wired for dvorak, just custom key caps where I can. I prefer using a software keymap so I can easily toggle to qwerty for a few things (CAD & gaming). I think I'm at just about 20 years in myself. I can still type qwerty when needed, just slower.

@arack99 Right, my problem is I don’t remember qwerty anymore when I need to, but can touch type dvorak without keycaps. Though I’ll admit I did enjoy the funny looks 20 years ago when I did try rearranging my keycaps for a while. :)

@frameworkcomputer Oh come on! You guys only have to post one word to get hundreds of stars and countless boosts?

Seems like you've done it,- you're hyped. ;-)

@frameworkcomputer is this like the old Turbo button that they used to put on PCs?

@frameworkcomputer as a german, since "alt" is german for "old" and "super" is also super in german, it is difficult for me to NOT read "super old" there xD

@frameworkcomputer If only I would have waited 16 months… :p totally would have gotten one haha.

@frameworkcomputer the tux key on tuxedo laptops is even better :3

@frameworkcomputer I'd prefer if it had a Framework gear on it ;)

@frameworkcomputer I once waited an entire month for a product with a "super" key. 😉

@prahou @frameworkcomputer I swear my X31 is French, I must check it for these glyphs

@frameworkcomputer Definitely getting the keyboard layout with this once I'm able to get a Framework Laptop 13, and y'all can ship to South Africa!
