  • That’s great! The keyboard is meant to be stationary, indeed.

    Try it with your current one first. I’ve only installed it through nix and guix, so it might be a possible issue for you if it’s not easily available.

    I’d love to, but where? Are there stores that stock them?

    No clue. If you can’t find that keyboard in the area, look for keyboards using the same switches. It’s not the only factor, but probably the most relevant.


  • You can use kmonad to configure keys, layers, layouts, etc. on any keyboard. AFAIK unless you’re going to use the keyboard on random computers, it can replicate all of the functionality you’d want.

    For sound:

    • find a physical model to try out
    • order one of those switch samplers
    • find info from reviewers

    Additional food for thought: get a keyboard with hot-swappable switches to possibly replace them with quieter ones. Also there are tricks to make it quieter like adding o-rings and a shock absorber for the bottom plate.



  • You interested in my attempt at integrating Emacs and stumpwm? It’s not great, but I managed to do some cool things like have Emacs emulate rofi for launching apps and as a pass frontend, and to unite key bindings in a smart way (for example, same shortcut: move stump window, move Emacs window, and if no Emacs tiles to that side move the whole Emacs window through stump).

    I really liked using it, but i3 has so many nice features.
