Re: $400 keyboard - footpedals - roshi - 09-29-2019
Any command I find myself doing a lot, and my hands get tired, I toss to the ground - give it to the footpedals.
Page up Page down is good, that lets me scroll through long texts and rest my hands.
Return.
If I can put my hands in my lap for even one second, it lets blood flow resume and prevents fatigue. It does not seem to be the "repetitive motion" that makes my hands sore as much as holding them suspended, waiting to enter the next command.

I agree - not just the hands and fingers, but the arm/shoulder is affected as well. I don't work on a keyboard as hard as you do so a $400 keyboard and a foot pedal still seem over the top to me, but that's just me... I get that issue hovering over my trackpad, so I rest often as I work.

I'm a writer, and a 400 page book in print is 600 manuscript pages, and at times I need to scroll through the whole thing and edit here and there. Having the footpedals on the floor is SO GREAT at those times.

My son builds keyboards.

When I was a kid I used to build keyboards that only typed in lower case.
I was shiftless.

That is very interesting. Any details about hardware and also about those characters?
