You need to make a necklace. When AI reaches singularity and society crumbles, we will use the size of emacs coders' Ctrl necklaces to establish a new clan hierarchy.

🤣


00-11

Bonus points: Program Emacs to make the necklace.


mokrates82

How would he do that w/o a ctrl key?


cslux

No, true engineers wear a Nozzle-Necklace.


TheHentaiSama

It looks like you lost control there


R3D3-1

Dude's outta Ctrl.

mehx9

My thought exactly!


glgmacs

switch it to Caps Lock


esrse

That's what I wanted to say. Switch it to caps lock and break the key again. It may take quite some time. Then you would be invited to the secret society.


HeiWiper

Omg why are you using Ctrl instead of Caps Lock key 😨


Comrade-Porcupine

I don't have a caps-locks key. I get keycaps that let me put Ctrl where "that" key is.


Both_Confidence_4147

That's what most people do, and it is the way emacs was intended to be used


denniot

Nice keyboard. Looks comfy. Is the velcro supposed to attach your sleeve?


UnfitForPublicOffice

I LOL’d at this. The keyboard came with a resting pad that I ripped off


Comrade-Porcupine

You need a new keyboard, and you should clearly get this: [https://mechboards.co.uk/products/hyper-7-v4](https://mechboards.co.uk/products/hyper-7-v4) or [https://keymacs.com/](https://keymacs.com/)


UnfitForPublicOffice

That first keyboard looks a torture device


Comrade-Porcupine

I mean, it's partially inspired by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet\_keyboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet_keyboard) which is the keyboard emacs was originally designed for but, yeah. it's a bit over the top. nevertheless i have one on order :-)


arthurno1

Each of my computers is cheaper than the first keyboard you posted and all of them together are by far cheaper than the second one in its basic option :D.


Comrade-Porcupine

Computers come and go. Hand crafted keyboards are forever


minecrafttee

Noooo you can’t but it looks like you have chairys Mx so just buy or 3D Print a new one


blvaga

And after the crrl key spent so much time growing that soul patch. Tragedy.


Comrade-Porcupine

I don't see a key named "Meta" or "Super" there, so c'mon. Do you even emacs bro?


Thad_The_Man

Your keyboard is not backlit, philistine.


TyrionBean

Incorrect. Your Caps Lock key appears untouched. You are doing it wrong.


cazzipropri

You're out of Control!


mohd_sm81

time to make your caps lock another Ctrl and break it


dejlo

I've never broken one, but I've worn the writing off the left Ctrl key on about half of the keyboards I've used regularly.


mokrates82

That's the wrong key. WTF are you doing not rebinding capslock?


fragbot2

I broke a keyboard's Caps Lock key as I'd remapped it to Ctrl. We're an elite club!


Drone30389

Pinky of steel.


LostCake

When my control key broke on my keyboard, I learnt to use capslock instead. Now I have left/right arrows broken and I learn how to navigate smarter.


Thad_The_Man

Or you could jsut buy a new set of keycaps.


Miserable_Sock_1408

new emacs fear unlocked ![gif](giphy|s7RJ1RI8X6l2M)


Old-Environment5040

Fear? Do you mean ”feat”?


OneObi

blokes out of control.


R3D3-1

Why, just why didn't you write it as Ctrl? 😭

Peter Hook is an Emacs user, BTW!


AmbitiousEffort2365

Resistance is futile, you have lost control.


ttuFekk

How do you hit your ctrl key, with the side of your palm or pinky?


UnfitForPublicOffice

The pinky; but using the palm could be a great form of anger expression 🧐


lovebes

> side of your palm wat


ttuFekk

I know some guys use their palm-edge to hit ctrl key in order to to avoid pinky problem


arthurno1

I have a Razer chicklet keyboard, I think DeathStalker, I bought used many years ago; somewhere in 2012/2013, I don't remember. It still works :). It is about 10+ years now. I am amazed. I am probably doing "too little Emacs" per day.


BackToPlebbit69

Should have swapped to use the Caps key instead


The_Squeak2539

You've lost control over your keyboard


Wassimans

Doomed key. Just Space it.


YrnCollo

You lost control?
