Right now I use left alt as space and space as shift (and caps as backspace and ' as ctrl and the rest is mostly colemak.. ) Anyways, since the people who design computer keyboards seem incapable of designing them for two thumbs, my next computer was going to be a Japanese MacBook Pro. The space bar on said notebook is 3 keys long, allowing comfortable, regular use of the keys beside it. The problem is that this particular machine costs like $1700. The only alternative I can see is adding space key functionality to my shiftbar, but this would require the following behavior: shiftbar press : some variable in the keyboard stack changed, no signal sent shiftbar release: space key press+release signals sent, variable cleared shiftbar press: same thing with the variable other key (combo) press+release: shift press signal sent immediately, then other signals sent as appropriate This feature would save me like $500 and allow me to consider getting another ubuntu dell, or an uber, system76, or zareason system this time, or at least a refurbished or used mac instead of a new one. How much would it cost to have this functionality implemented?
