I guess I'll drop a few more nuclear tips on you while I'm here
when editing text, home and end more your cursor to the beginning and end of the line, respectively
when editing text, ctrl+home and ctrl+end more your cursor to the beginning and end of the entire text
if you hold shift while doing any of the above, instead of just moving your cursor, it will highlight text too

I use the numpad all the time for excel stuff. I'd prefer to have a keyboard where I could unplug the numpad, but for now I just use two otherwise identical filco keyboards at home and throw one of them under the monitors depending on what I'm doing. I've tried using a separate numpad, but I oscillate between letter keys and numpad, and not having them physically linked with consistent spacing drives me nuts.

damn i had no idea. im guessing they were way too early to the market . i feel like the current trend of mechanical keyboards took off around ~2010 and before that even most gamers/programmers just bought the cheapest membrane keyboard at the local store.

i feel like today this trend can take off, starting with gamers/streamers and then spread to the rest of the market.initially just having streamdeck functionality in a regular keyboard but later adding support in games and in programs for the keys to chane in different contexts.

well people generally dont do that when theyre experienced with a program and with keyboard use but it would ease normies (and everyone really) into learning keybinds making everyone faster at any program/game. and after you got all that stuff in muscle memory you can put on some fancy graphical effects people love that RGB shit on keyboards.

Yeah, it was really expensive back then. Something like $1K. I think there is some Kickstarter with the same idea.

Accountants I guess. I don't need to type many numbers in but if I was typing lots of numbers into a spreadsheet then I would prefer one of these.

I use the numpad all the time. It's much easier to find the right numbers than on the the numbers row.
