Post pictures of your results! I'm curious to see what other people do with this. BTW, I usually use white drafting tape or Post-its.
Actually more often, I tear keys out entirely. Usually the Numlock key, because I tend to clip it when I get going with the tenkey and turn the darn thing off. (I really don't understand putting a button on something that invalidates its existence with the clumsy swipe of a key).
The "Shout" key was for my wife who uses CAD all day and sometimes forgets to disable Caps Lock when she IM's me.
I read about a little hack someone made: a program that runs in the background; every time you turn on CapsLock, it plays a random click from the late Billy Mays (OxyClean shouting guy) to remind you of what your sentences will "sound" like.
Pages to Type is a blog about books, writing and literary culture (with the occasional digression into coffee and the care and feeding of giant robots).
Ahh geek humor. As a techie, I love it! :-) especially the smite button.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteAlas, it's the "Dammit" key that appears most often in the revolving pantheon of Scott Keys.
Great -- and so easy to comprehend. I type so much that many of my keys have absolutely nothing on them.

Where is the "I Love It" key LOL
ReplyDeleteOh very good....I've thought about covering my keys but worried they might stick. :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day.
I would pay a king's ransom for that keyboard if only half of the buttons worked.
ReplyDeleteI love these. I think I'll fix my keyboard at work now. Thanks. Have a very happy WW.

Ha! Ha! Ha! I LOVE that. There are days when I could certainly use those keys. I'll keep the customizing in mind. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely comment on my lily.
Love it! I wish I had thought of that when writing my thesis...

ReplyDeleteThanks Dianne and Anika! I didn't start doing this until I was out of school, but I rather think it would've helped had I thought of it.
ReplyDeleteWow Kevin... that... that would certainly work. And with repeated offenses the ShamWow guy shows up?
