    It's the keyboard layout.

    Well, my problem with that is, many non-english keyboards have numbers readily accessible and have many punctuations behind AltGr. If it's not really a problem there, why would it be one here? And please don't get me wrong, I know we are dealing with a compact keyboard, and I know we are trying...

    It's the keyboard layout.

    Ok I really mean no offense, but this is really getting absurd. It looked like we were making a LOT of real progress here with layouts similar to http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/6fcb32a81f5afe891b8e5d66e402e476 or...

    It's the keyboard layout.

    Perhaps it was a French-Canadian keyboard (or perhaps a French keyboard using a French-Canadian mapping.) Also, does Cap-Lock normally run into the same problem? That is, éèçàù becoming 2790% ?

    It's the keyboard layout.

    I still don't see why pressing Shift (or Caps-Lock) to get upper case French letters is a problem. Like I said when I was staying in France I recall having no issue with that.

    It's the keyboard layout.

    I too don't understand the statement "And they don't have an easy way to get the capitals", as any international keyboard or mapping that I've used, letters with diacritics behave the same way as the base 26 letters in terms of Shift and Caps-Lock, in regards to lower and upper casing. Why is...

    How to calculate a price for the Pyra

    Does that 35% incude shipping costs (if, for example, someone like myself living in the US wanted to order a Pyra directly from ED) ? I don't do much over-seas shipping so I have no idea how much it would actually cost to ship something like a Pyra that far (from Germany I think?) and it would...

    Got displays, looking for keymats

    I don't think there really is such a thing as a "portrait" or "landscape" screen. The screen just displays pixels sent from the video adapter (graphics card in a PC), so it's up to said adapter to sent the pixels out in a certain pattern, is it not? Hell, most PC video cards even expose the...

    Unofficial Keyboard Layouts

    I apologize for not being more clear. I don't have a Pandora. I'm rather new to this community and only found about it just a couple months ago. I am not new to computing though, and have known many common usages for shift + enter for a long time, so I thought it was good to voice that concern...

    Unofficial Keyboard Layouts

    I still don't understand why it needs to be tied with shift when Fn + enter could be easily used instead. Please see my last post for a several good examples of known and common shift + enter usages. Yes, your schema only uses one of the shift keys but I still feel that should be strongly...

    Unofficial Keyboard Layouts

    There are many word processors that use shift + enter for a regular line break while using enter by itself for a paragraph break (to break from the current paragraph and begin a new one.) It's used in many many chat and messaging programs to break to the next line where by itself sends the...

    Unofficial Keyboard Layouts

    I don't see how using FN over shift would make it more difficult to do that. As someone else noted, shift + enter has known uses in certain apps that this would prevent. I thought the whole point was to avoid clobbering common and known keyboard shortcuts as much as possible?

    Should Pyra have a Camera?

    <pendantic> If you actually mean 5 MiB (that is, 5x1,024^2 or 5,242,880 bytes, and not 5x1,000^2, which is 5 MB), then that equals 5,120 KiB (or 5,242.88 KB or 5.24 MB.) If you really did mean 5 MB (5,000,000 bytes), then that would indeed be 5,000 KB (or 4882.81 KiB or 4.77 MiB.) Or if you...

    Unofficial Keyboard Layouts

    Thank you for that. Yes I see how that can be useful. It's very much like how the shit key works on on-screen keyboards on many smartphones and tablets (touch screen devices.)

    Unofficial Keyboard Layouts

    I'm sorry, but what exactly is meant by "sticky" ? Does it stay on until pressed again and vice versa (like a toggle button) ? Or does it mean something else? Thanks.

    Some Pandora/Pyra questions.

    Hello, I'm rather new around these parts. So far what I've seen of the Pandora and upcoming Pyra seem so damn cool and I really am loving what I'm seeing. I do have a couple questions that have been on my mind that I haven't been able to find an answer to via the forum search. I have seen...
