ergonomics - Best keyboards for emacs? -

-

for emacs users out there, recommended keyboards?

bonus points keyboards that:

  1. have no capslock key. instead, control key in position.
  2. alt keys closer centre, , easier use meta key combos. find alt keys far left bit awkward hit thumb in key combos.
  3. help ergonomically emacs in other ways.

i'm not huge fan of model m style high , clacky keys. instead prefer laptop style flat keys; however, i'm not disqualifying either category.

a couple of interesting keyboards i'm curious if people have tried emacs - kinesis

semi-conclusion:
ended getting ms natural 4k, lot overall alt keys on both sides easy hit thumbs. useful ergoemacs-mode.

however, 1 flaw see keyboard number keys shifted left, 6 on wrong side of keyboard. aside 0 left shifted enough accidentally hit - when meant hit 0 pinky.

due flaw, i'm leaving question open in case can come perfect emacs keyboard.

richard stallman (which i'm sure know author of emacs, , biggest emacs user) seen using hhkb (happy hacking keyboard) (source)

here's layout of hhkb pro:

hhkb pro

  • no caps lock.
  • control key conveniently placed emacs users.

they're quite pricey though...

(or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

-
example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
