The Dream Draws Nearer

If you’re a hardcore Emacser or Lisper, you’ve probably always drooled over the famous space-cadet keyboard. Just think, you’d have keys for all four bucky bits, not to mention a multitude of other keys with no apparent use if you aren’t on a Lisp machine. From time-to-time some manufacturer will offer keycaps from the space-cadet but that’s always struck me as sort of pointless.

Now, Kono is considering making a modern version of the space-cadet keyboard. There are no details on the site so it’s not clear how such a thing would work or what computers it would work with but it’s nice to see someone’s thinking about it. Because I really want those Hyper and Super keys1.

Yes, I can—and do—overload the fn and ⌘ Cmd keys on my Mac to provide the same functions but it’s not the same thing.
