I have problems with " ( + ) " , and I allways search too much for - + and =... I'm tottally clear with []{} ... Having very rarely problems with ' " , and even less than that with : ; .. but sometimes I have problems with |\?/
On my keyboard, I have two times the key "\|" + "\|" , the same key... One is that next to enter, and other is next to left shift.
On lambda mailing list they are just discussing how to write something, something with the arrows I think. There was just an idea to use unicode lamda sign...
Some ten years ago I was allways typing on some standard keyboard.... Now I use notebook and when I see some standard keyboard it looks strange.
But also I don't use mouse at all never. I use touch pad and I love it, I have some option that when I turn it on I don't have to drag cursor over the screen like with repeating finger movements, but I can cover the whole screen with the (how to say..)
acre of the touch pad surface... surface, that's how to say. Sometimes when I come with the mouse to some point I'm little bit circeling around that point till I aim it right.
I am using Croatian keyboard layout with letters from my country ... most of the time switched to us... But when I was nine years old, I've started with american keyboard layout, I think so... So when I "close my eyes" keyboard is for me that one... But sometimes I forget to which keyboard layout I am switched in my mind, so I have to decide "where I am"... what keyboard layout physically I am using, and which one I am imagining that I am using...
us
1234567890-=
!@#$%^&*()_+
croatian
1234567890'+
!"#$%&/()=?*
when I switch to croatian then instead of this: [{]};:'"\|
I have signs similar like: sSdDcCcCzZ , only with some lines above or such... and those real keys are then moved somewhere else...
so , the key which is next to enter "\|" and next to the left shift (which is small here at me) "\|"
becomes zZ with the smal "v" above of the letter Z, next to the enter
and "<>" next to the left shift
and where was ,< and .>
it becomes ;, and :.
and, where was ?/
it becomes -_
(thats the same key which was up above)
and, when I have croatian layout...
where was -_
(int the toppest line of keys next to =)
becomes ?'
It is so deeply confusing to me, becaouse when I was little, I still didn't got over it over the german-us difference in keyboard layout, the qwerty qwertz thing, and when I switch to croatian layout i also get the qwertz line.
What else? I think nothing... At least F keys and PGUPandDOWN are where they're supposed to be, and TAB and CAPS as well, luckily... And BACKSPACE is still there...
Ah and this shift control things and some strange buttons for window or alt gr is a little bit confusing to me, becaouse of amiga keys, and those special
(widow) window keys I never touch... When I touch it something pops out... and it keeps suprising me.
And yeas, the monkey @, from 2+shift (which is on Hungarian language called "the bug", I think so... what is funny, becaouse Hungarian and Croatian language are drastically different, but there are the same words in the language becaouse the two countries were next to each other for longer than thousand years, so on Hungarian language the @ key is called "kukac" which is the same
word on Croatian "kukac" for the same thing "bug")... the "mon key"... moves to V key... in combination AltGr + V
And then instead of @ over 2 i get double qutoes ", which I can see allways drawn on the physical keys, just that I never belive it it's there...
What is Gr in AltGr? Greater? becaouse of that I allways thing that AltGr is two keys...
And... when I press AltGr I think that it used to be that in some applications, before, or even now, except gettin mon-key, I get the MenuBar oppened as well, so I have to click through this somehow back to where I was...
For example, If I am not too boring..... the logical or key |
on croatian layout I get over W key with AltGr, not shift, but look this...
When, on croatian layout I want to type the \ key
It is over Q with AltGr, not shift...
And... when I do that in this JavaRanch window for posting replies, in a text area, while typing this, then by pressing AltGr + Q to get the \ sign the next thing happens:
I get typed in the whole sequence , "["quote"]" space space space space "["/quote"]"\
but I get the \ sign at the end of it, plus the:
"This website is using scripted window to ask you for information. If you trusti this...."
I can't afford to hate it while it cofuses me so much...
Usually, I switch on to music, like this time... I turned on the:
