I never use that. Do you? If I want the screen to be off, I close the lid (or wait until the automatic screen saver turns the screen off). I don't see the point of having the screen off with the lid open. It's confusing: you can think the screen is off because of the screensaver, so you press...

I also don't think it's a good idea to make the first batch have less features than the next batch. It could easily have the effect that people postpone buying a Pyra because the next batch will be better, or people who buy the first batch get pissed afterwards. Putting 5GHz only in the units...

I didn't mean a configuration dialog that everyone is forced to go through, e.g. in the first-boot process or something. It's perfectly fine to have a default setting and just use that, no need to make the first-boot process more complicated than strictly necessary. But still it's nice to be...

On the Pandora I only really use two brightness settings: minimum (which is perfect when there's no sunlight) and maximum (when there is sunlight). I don't really use anything in between: as soon as minimum is not good enough, I very quickly want to go to maximum. So for me, brightness is not...

http://www.speedguide.net/faq/is-5ghz-wireless-better-than-24ghz-340 So, essentially 5Ghz can theoretically be faster and has more channels so is less likely to suffer from interference, but it has a shorter range: at the same power, the distance you get is smaller at higher frequencies, and...

I suggest that everyone who is interested in an "official Pyra camera" tries to find a decent USB camera, decent in terms of image quality, compactness and price, and reports about it in this thread. If we can find a good one, we can suggest to ED to try to buy it in bulk and sell it from his...

I think you're right. I'm very happy with the layout ED showed on Twitter so I suggest to move forward with that one, perhaps refine it a bit typographically and then consider it finalized. In terms of functional layout it's perfect, and while an additional key for a primary slash or dash would...

The only advantage of a wide space key is a psycho-visual one: I must admit that it looks somewhat "friendly" and "comforting" (to the extent that these adjectives can be attributed to keyboards) to have a double-width space. It does not add anything in terms of functionality, in fact it takes...

Yes, but which letters/symbols are you going to Compose and why is the efficiency gain of a dedicated Compose key going to make a noticeable difference in your use case? (i.e. why would you not use remapping or the AltGr layer instead?) I know you're not talking about things like Æ or Ø...

What would you need Compose for, now that acute / grave / circumflex / diaeresis (umlaut) / tilde are covered and any language-specific letters you need could be mapped efficiently on the AltGr layer? Even with a dedicated Compose key, it's still 3 keystrokes for just one letter. Dead...

Sure, we could do that. I would let a short tap of Super pop up a normal main menu though, like on the Pandora. But a long press could show those things in an overlay, and of course if you want to do the Super+letter shortcuts, you don't have to wait for the overlay to show up. So yes, maybe...

"Alt" and "Ctrl" could go to the bottom, yes, but I like it that they're in a bigger font, it emphasizes that the Pyra is not just a gaming device. Mapping Usr1 to Shift would certainly be possible if you really want that third shift. Another possible remap you could do: map the ' " to an...

Yes it does. And it is really a community-designed keyboard. It sure took a lot of discussion threads, polls, hundreds of layout proposals, brainstorming and heated discussions, but the result is worth it. We managed to design a very, very nice keyboard if you ask me. It's impossible to trace...

I'm sure there are plenty of camera applications in the Debian repositories.

The keyboard backlight leds are not RGB, they are white. The power button should get no other label than the power symbol imo. No extra labels/symbols for "suspend", "reboot", "logout", "hibernate" or whatever. Orange-red as the color for the Fn labels works quite well. My current laptop has a...

Let's try to avoid circular justifications. Otherwise we might in the end include a useless symbol because ED thinks the community wants it while the community only wants it because they think that ED wants it. Is there anyone who actually uses the § symbol sufficiently often to want to have it...

Here is an evolved version of the poll based layout: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/3c0c7c5c9a4481939bc615433148a6e4 I doubt ED reads this thread, but that doesn't mean that your comments here will be ignored. Open questions: Should we keep § or should we replace it with...

Do you have an example of a keyboard with lowercase letters where it looks good? I have never seen actual keyboards with all-lowercase labels. Maybe it can look good. On the other hand, upper case labels are the norm and perhaps there's a reason for that. In my experience, in most fonts...

I think the convention is as follows: If the accented letters are available only as lowercase letters (like on a Swiss, Italian or French keyboard), then the label is lowercase. You can get only the lowercase letter, because if you combine it with Shift, you get a different symbol. If the...

Just a thought: Getting your Pyra stolen is one way to lose it. You can also lose it by simply leaving it lying around somewhere. This is how I usually lose stuff. Not by thieves who steal it from me, but just me being stupid and forgetting to pick something up after I intentionally or...
