Thanks - both your suggestion and @davewongillies are close ... but my ideal keyboard is still the "87 key" layout with the inverted T, but with 12 function keys on the left. On modern PCs it's hard to live without the F11 and F12 keys.
I'd even settle for a 12 key keypad on the left as well - that might be more doable. Looks like I might have to build this myself from scratch ...
- will_pseudonym 6y agoWhat do the F11 and F12 keys do for you on a modern PC? I don't know of their uses offhand.
- opan 6y agoF11 is often fullscreen, and F12 is sometimes a screenshot button in some games.
- ornornor 6y agoFull screen and dev tools respectively for web developers.
- tom_ 6y agoIf using a debugger with Visual Studio-type keyboard shortcuts, F11 = step in, Shift+F11 = step out. If running under the Visual Studio debugger, you can also press F12 with the debuggee in focus to break into the process.
- solstice 6y agoI use F12 several dozen times per day because it is the "Save as..." shortcut in MS Office. Much better and quicker than navigating the menus
- CWuestefeld 6y agoThere are a few commercial keyboards out there that offer this. I was going to suggest the Logitech G110 that I use, but it appears that model's no longer manufactured. Still, there are others.
