Weird bug with #KDE: I updated my system (#Arch btw) and now I am in the situation that my internal (but #removable) #keyboard works just fine in bios settings, to enter my LUKS password and in VTs, but as soon as I reach KDE it stops working. Also the mouse (part of the removable keyboard) stops working there, but works fine in BIOS. What do I do now? It worked fine 90min ago and I only upgraded chromium, firefox, fwupd and the #kernel. Tried downgrading the kernel but with no luck. What now?

Vivaldi’s like that coworker who brings their own keyboard, because the one provided just won’t cut it.

Started to build another #splitkb #keyboard on the weekend. A lintilla from https://github.com/ctranstrum/lintilla. I’m learning a lot about how these work and especially about #ergogen, which I used to tweak some stuff.

This is the oddest #KeyboardLayout I've seen in quite a while: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/01/20/bandit-pc32-standalone-colorforth-keyboard-computer-is-powered-by-the-raspberry-pi-rp2350-microcontroller/

And yes, the #OrtholinearKeyboard of that small #handheld computer seems to be a #MechanicalKeyboard, they say it has #Kailh Brown switches, seemingly MX compatible.

Moving around the O and especially the P and L key reminds me of the #keyboard layout of the #Enigma, also because I also already was experimenting with such layouts: https://github.com/xtaran/XTK/blob/master/Painigma27.md
