The question that should have been answered, but wasn't.

Since booleans default to false, I would say: no.

More seriously, if you assign different meanings to a key relating to how deep it gets pressed, it will result in lots of key misses I suppose. You will have to develop a piano feel, but for a piano there is a correlation with loudness.

So if you define a soft action for a gentle press on space, and a "stronger" action for a deep press on space, maybe you can do useful things without fucking up your typing.

Things like: going to

  start of word, (soft)
  start of sentence (medium)
  column 0 (hard)
But i am a bit wary about how precise and consistent the board will be. But if it works, it might save on key combinations to learn.





slam the keys hard enough and you get all caps?
