Looking for split keyboard with soft keys

Does anyone know of a split keyboard that has keys as soft/sensitive as the powebook keys?

Rubs me the wrong way when someone asks a question and people criticize the question, but I thought I'd pass on my experience. I was disappointed that the "Nimitz" keyboard with the separate calculator-type numerical keypad and extra programmable buttons disappeared. Part of the reason was that the keys on the "chicklet" board felt a little more tightly-spaced (way back in the day I had even gotten a keyboard that splayed apart and you could adjust the angle of the keys you hit with your left hand from those you hit with your right). I didn't like the feel and I was typing more slowly (I'm a fairly quick typer).
I started looking around to see what replacements would match the uncluttered modern look (wireless being part of that) while giving me the conventional keyboard feel. (I'm also a keyboardist, as in synthesizer-player, so I know from the differences in tactile feel and resistance and such.)
But the truth is I stayed with the "chicklet" keyboard. I just got used to it. Going back and forth from synth to piano means you never really get used to a bad keyboard feel and it affects your expressiveness. But once I got used to the "chicklet" keyboard, now when I use a conventional typewriter-style keyboard, it feels clumsy and I find I type no faster than I do on the new one.
My two cents. If you find that's not so, good luck on the search for something suitable for you. Would be nice to have the option for those who want it.

HT5636 I am using an Apple keyboard with numeric key pad.

I have a new Mac OSX 10.9.2. I am using Bootcamp to run WIndows 8.1.
I have just connected a new USB Apple keyboard with numeric key pad.
All works fine in OSX. But in windows the numeric numbers on the keypad wont work.
Numlock appears to work, but nothing happens when the number keys are pressed.
The keys / * - +and entre all work ok. Just not the numbers.
MIcrosoft SUPPORT REFUSED to help me because i am using a mac, they claim it is a hardware problem.

I would look for a program which would display the ascii value of typed letters
if i had the letter the key send one can assign that value to any other function one wish
https://www.google.dk/search?q=program+which+display+the+acsii+of+typed+letters& oq=program+which+display+the+acsii+of+typed+letters&aqs=chrome..69i57.11855j0j4& sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=program+which+display+the+ascii+of+typed+let ters&spell=1
if the program would get no ascii value from the num keyboard then I suppose ms were correct
if not then there are tons of free programs to reassign keys as one see fit
and even if they were not to work one can do it manually in regedit in windows

Looking for a pager with advanced functionalities

Hello everyone,
I am looking for a pager with which I could put custom icons for the different workspaces.
I have an HTPC that is mainly used for three things: watching movies, playing music and browsing the internet. Therefore, I would like to have four workspaces, one for each of these and another one for administration. Since this is an HTPC, I'd like it to look good and I think it would be neat to have images instead of numbers/squares for the workspaces: a movie reel for the "movies" workspace, a note for "music", etc... I have been looking at pagers on the wiki, but most of the links are broken. I am currently running XFCE, but would install another WM for this. The idea came to me because I could do this on awesome 3, which is installed on my laptop, but my roommates are firmly opposed to a tiling WM on the HTPC.
If anybody can provide suggestions, they will be very welcome.
Cheers,
François

Howdy-ha- flamirande. I don't want to be a total prick, as it's not my place; it's yours. Xfwm or Awesome will get the job done, won't it? You might be able to wow them if you get a universal remote and set up a proper lirc connection, letting them sit on the couch and have the power at the press of a finger. I have some friends with XBMC (the real thing--a dedicated, old-school Xbox hacked with BSD for all their media), and they're more satisfied with the results it provides than how it looks. Yeah, their Win and Mac PCs (both my friends' and your roomates') give them Facebook and YouTube, but yours gives them music, movies and tv and internet on demand, at a smaller resource cost and with a more versatile core and interface. If they're so touchy about polish, let them figure it out. I'm not just saying this as the sorry excuse for a computer geek that I am, but also as a person who's been dealing with many roommates for roughly a decade. I mean I don't know your situation but what do they think, the setup you give 'em is supposed to get them attention?
If these folks can't be satisfied by the fact that your system can provide them with a reliable, versatile, centralized, kick-ass setup that theirs can't, well...
More constructively: If they just won't have it...maybe openbox and tint2? You've got a low ram and cpu demand there, keeping music from skipping and video from tearing, if you work it out properly. Openbox has always been my choice for the right balance between polish and minimalism.

It would actually be helpful if the OP told us waht the shortcuts were meant to do...

My iMac is looking for wireless keyboard but I have a usb and it is plugged in.

my iMac is looking for wireless keyboard but I have a usb and it is plugged in. Right now I am using the one from my old computer. This happened once before and I unplugged/plugged in, restarted. Didn't work. Repeated several times, it finally worked. This time not so much. Any one else have this problem and know how to solve it?

Try turning off Blue Tooth in its respective preference panel. Do not try using the USB keyboard in a USB extender. Connect directly to the computer.

Keyboard skin for iMac keyboard with 'L' shaped Return keys -do they exist?

Hi people. Can someone PLEASE tell me where I can find a silicon cover for my European G5 iMac's keyboard. It has a large 'L' shaped Return key and all of the places I've tried (zcover etc) only stock skins for keyboards with thin, American stle Return keys.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I use this cover, the iSkin. The area that covers the return key and the key above is molded L-shaped. It will accommodate a US or Int'l Apple keyboard.

External keyboard for iPad 4 with colored keys for child with autism

...and any suggestions of very easy apps/programs for learning to type. Most apps we find don't start easily enough or progress too quicky for fine motor challenges.

No, if an app has it's own version of the keyboard then that version will only be available in that app - I havn't seen any Apple built-in keyboards where all keys are visible all of the time, probably because that would make the keyboard too big and/or the keys too small. You can leave feedback for Apple here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Add on keyboards with navigation keys

iOS 8 added the ability to add 3rd party keyboards, something I've wanted for a long time. But when I look at the offerings in the app store, they don't seem to offer much other than different appearance, shortcuts, different spell check, etc.
I want a keyboard with the four cursor keys, Page Up/Down, Home, End, Alt, Cmd and maybe Tab. Does anyone know of a keyboard that has those extra keys?
Note: I'm not talking about an external Bluetooth keyboard, I'm talking about apps that replace the virtual keyboard.

Keyboard shortcuts allows you to choose the key sequence used to activate any Menu Item.
If your issue is only inside Firefox, use their keyboard mapping mechanism instead, Described here:

Can't log in, because computer is looking for bluetooth keyboard

When I start up my computer, it starts to look for a bluetooth keyboard - I guess at some point it recognized my husband's bluetooth keyboard for his iPad.
It means, however, it doesn't recognize my USB keyboard even to key in my password, so I cannot access Preferences to stop it from searching for a bluetooth keyboard. My husband is traveling - with his iPad... Any advice on how to fix this?

By the way the message says that the keyboard isn't connecting because the bluetooth keyboard setup isn't connecting. That it's looking for a wireless keyboard.

Report for Microsoft Products with Product Keys

Hello,
I'm new to Spiceworks. I've been tasked with seeing if I can generate a report of all Microsoft products including their product key (or at least the last 5 digits) so I can check for license compliance.
Does anyone have any hints to help me figure out how to generate such a report? Is Spiceworks capable of doing this?
I'll keep researching on my own but any advice that would help me along would be great.
Thanks,
Brian

Go to Microsoft's site & look for what you purchased, download it & enter your product key. I suspect you purchased Office for Mac '11:

Looking for a keyboard

I'm a MacBook Pro user looking for a bluetooth keyboard that includes a number pad (I work a lot in finance & spreadsheets). What have you found is the best bluetooth keyboard with number pad in the aftermarket world. Thanks.

Logitech, Kensington, and Microsoft make the most robust wireless keyboards out there. Unfortunately for each, the drivers need to be maintained as you update the operating system. So keep track of them. Also wireless keyboards eat batteries like a monster. Consider getting high capacity rechargeable batteries for the keyboard once you discover which batteries it uses.

Looking for US keyboard for ThinkPad X220

Hi,
I bought a ThinkPad X220 with a Swiss keyboard, but I'd like to replace it with a "standard" US keyboard.
Can anyone help me confirm the part number, and perhaps suggest where to get one? I presume it's easy enough to replace, according to the instructions in the User Guide...
I did look on the Lenovo site under "Accessories" but of course they only list USB keyboards there.
Thanks in advance!

Oh really? Do you know of any difference in the keyboard, or have any advice as to which one might be the "best" choice?
i've used all three on various models (T400s, T410s, W510, X220, external USB trackpoint keyboard, etc.) and personally prefer 45N2211.   it's the quietest of all three and feels the closest to older thinkpads.   if you prefer a more "clicky" keyboard then look for 45N2071.   of the one 45N2141 i tried, i didn't like the click of the mouse buttons as much.   however, this could have been a sample variation.
there is no best choice here though since everyone's preferences are different.   i've heard and read about an equal amount of praise and complaints surrounding each of the three manufacturers (NMB, chicony, and alps) and cannot say which you would like the most.
if you like what you have now in terms of feel, find out what FRU number you have and find the corresponding number in a US keyboard.   the chart you want can be found here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-77194 lead_org's link above goes to a driver page rather than this one.

Looking for a name with special character

Hi Gurus,
In our HR system we use multiple language (eg: polish, french, german, english, finns, ...). All those languages have some specific characters, like german with ß.
When we use the search help to looking for someone, it seems that only people who have the special character on their keyboard can find directly the correct name.
For example :
If I use a german keyboard I can found an employe by completed the correct last name wich contain eg ß .
if I don t use a german keyboard I have to put a * where the specific characters is.
I would like to know if somehow it were possible to customize the system in order to do not need to enter a * but the correspondant singular letter. Is there any function for converting a special character to a singular one to activated ?
Thank you for all your help
Best regards
Hadrien

indexOf() is used to find where a character or substring appears in a
given string. What you probably need is charAt() which finds out which
character is at a given position. Like this:private JTextField reportNameText;
// something needs to be put in the text field here
String reportName = reportNameText.getText();
if(reportName.charAt(0) == ' ') {
        // printing a space isn't a lot of good...
    //System.out.println("first character is"+reportName.indexOf(0));
    System.out.println("first character is a space");
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Report Name should not start with Space", "", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
}An even better condition might beif(Character.isWhitespace(reportName.charAt(0))) {This checks for other sorts of space.
The String methods are described here:
