One Button.
« on: July 14, 2004, 04:01:58 AM »
If you could have just one extra button on your keyboard, like a programable 'multi-media' button for example, what would you want it's function to be?

I wouldn't mind a button that opens another shell window (or a new shell in the same window if there is already one open)

:)

A show desktop button would be cool, and a show desk top command added to amiga os would be even better.

US keyboards at least already have 2 "extra" keys.  It would be cool to use them for something like new shell, or other common programs.  Are there programs that can map these keys?
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

I want tiny lcds in the keytops that change character according to caps lock/shift/ctrl.

One key?
A key for greek characters and math/science expressions.
Apple did it right the first time, bring back the Newton!

Excelent ideas!

I've seen lots of good ideas here sofar!



Another of my ideas is a big colored tech-support button. ;)
