    the chromebook keyboard layout is stupid, especially if you like tiling wms

    they removed capslock and moved super to where it would normally be, and renamed it to “search”

    they put nonsensical function keys that don’t exist like “refresh” and “fullscreen”

    and then the keys are mushy too

      I hate the capslock thing. I sometimes feel like I’m the only person who regularly uses capslock (for C macro names and SQL when programming, but also for typing acronyms).

      I don’t mind the function key thing. Even from memory I can say that in a browser F5 = refresh and F11 = fullscreen. But kids probably are less likely to know those these days so a label could be helpful.

      CapsLock is vital for my muscle memory when configured to act as an extra Ctrl key. I have other shit configured to my Super key so that sort of kb would definitely require a major config overhaul to be usable.
