@Natasha_Jay Feeling really off but also a little bit silly (hence the hat)? 🤔

@Natasha_Jay I have that key, but unfortunately on my keyboard the caret and the tilde are next to each other, so you dont get the same smiley effect

@Natasha_Jay I'm more interested in how this works.

is one Ctrl and one Shift?

Show threadCindayra  Oct 28
@Natasha_Jay @ShredderFeeder I've used this layout my whole life and I still need three or four tries. One is shift and the other is either ctrl or alt gr

@cindayra @ShredderFeeder @Natasha_Jay

There is a very good reason why key labels are not printed all in the same column. It's to help you with what key is used to invoke what function of the key. What brand of keyboard/computer?

* Top left means SHIFT+key
* Bottom left means only keypress, no combo
* Bottom right means ALT-GR+key

Having them all in one colum would be confusing indeed. Young designer on hip company wanting to do *clean* design?

Notice how all the normal letters are printed in the top-left of the keys as upper case letters, not lower case?

Also, the alt-gr button is on the right side of the keyboard so label is on right side of keys. Supposed to be logical, we should not have to guess. Old style design when things make sense 🙂

@Natasha_Jay the Danish variant of a nordic keyboard with separate Æ, Ø, and Å keys ;)
Your special key is there, I use the ^ in regular expressions, the ü in my name, and the ~ in the shell.
