Rubout key ! I stand "corrected" ! Nowadays, we need a single-pixel-high "NSA/GCHQ/PLA bar", showing the level of activity of the various spy agency hackware currently running on this computer/smartphone. At 08:02 AM 3/6/2015, Tom Knight wrote:
As far as layout is concerned, I believe the best feature was the location of the âÂÂruboutâ key immediately to the left of the A key. I still wish I could find a keyboard with that location. How else can I correct my misakes rapidly enough We understood even back then how completely useless caps lock was, compared to virtually anything else. The arrangement of modifier keys on the lower left and right for âÂÂchordingâ commands was important, and has also been lost. IâÂÂm also amazed that a set of extremely useful features such as the âÂÂrun barsâ which take just a single pixel high at the bottom of the screen, and let you see processor, disk, and network activity have never made it into the mainstream.
