[quote name="Senor Barborito"][quote name="Ray, of Light"][quote name="Zseni"] Hints and tips about how <i>the l33t and hardcore</i> configure their Windows keyboards to obey their every whim?[/quote] First: old-school, 101-key format, without Windows or right-click keys to shrink the spacebar. Stores don't sell them, but any collection of used computer parts will contain several. Don't be fooled by <a href=http://shop.store.yahoo.com/pfuca-store/>inferior products</a> laying claim to additional cachet; those are strictly for show-boys. Second: it turns out you need the Windows key after all. Caps Lock will do. Save this to a file named something.reg, double-click it, and reboot (good for NT4, 2000, XP).

Fourth: get a Winamp plug-in such as <a href=http://www.geocities.com/vassili_bourdo/software/gen_hotkey/index.html>gen_hotkey</a>, to control WinAmp without minimizing the Sims. Fifth: consider installing <a href=http://www.vim.org/>Vim</a>, a polished and free videogame whose is to destroy the enemy -- unedited text -- using as little ammo as possible. Sixth: welcome to the club! Try to attend the meetings, and enjoy your newfound powers. Ray![/quote] Standard 101-key keyboard. The Enter key must be the big kind. The backspace key must be the small-as-a-letter kind. The backslash key needs to be next to it and also small. There is no question that this is how God intended (OK, it's because I'm left-handed and thus a sloppy enter-key hitterer). If you have power/suspend keys ESPECIALLY OVER THE ARROW KEYS SO I CAN'T USE HOME AND END YOU FUCKMONKEYS I will simply rip them out I will also rip out all my Windows/taskbar keys. Finally add a nice squishy gel pad for your wrists since you will be typing 16 hours a day, every day. Also: nano beats the pants off of VIM. Suck it, filthy greybeard - this is the choice of a NEW generation of *NIX faggots! --SB[/quote]
