    I wheeze-laughed at “Ran out of keys to bind years ago, has to use pedals under desk to switch between layouts.”

    Now I kinda want to do that.

      Weaksauce. Everyone knows you configure at least one Vulcan-nerve-pinch dead-key chord that primes the following key chord to switch the layout.

      Only half joking. I’m the guy with Ctrl-Super-Alt-Shift-Pause set to put the PC into Suspend mode.

      Unrelatedly, I hope the meme name isn’t a dog-whistle of some sort, because that really would be weaksauce.

        My favorite part of your suspend shortcut is that you can call it “hyper pause” and that describes both the shortcut and the action lol

        I think the thing that saves me from doing stuff like this is that as I get older I’ve begun to hate extraneous cables on and around my desk. For the longest time I’ve stuck with cabled peripherals, but I think my next buy will be wireless in that department. Now if we could make this foot pedal wireless…

          I went the opposite way, got sick of all the wireless stuff disconnecting, battery dying, or not working before the os boots so I switched to wired everything, I went as far as running a usb over ethernet extender to my couch area so I can have a wire keeb and mouse while gaming on the tv
