Update on my #gateron #smoothie switches. I love them, I have really been digging the linear feel and the creamy sound is pretty soothing on the ears. I added some foam backing to kind of amp it up. But the keyboard sound does come through my mic during pairing sessions a bit.

@willhbr great call-out, I'll see about a key binding on my prefix key.

2025-05-06

Hey #tmux it would be really great if you could yell at me to stop attempting to use tmux commands when I am not in a tmux session. Yea that would be great. Kinda like "Hey idiot, it doesn't matter how many times you hit your prefix, I can't move to the next window when you literally don't have windows open" kthxbye.

Ok, but real talk, what do you do with all the old and extra switches?? I have some extras but then ALL of my old copper switches.

Messy wood desk with a open box of gateron smoothie switches and a pile of kaliah copper switches next to it.

But am I now all creamy sounding and have slightly dampened vibrations with no impact on my key press? Yes! I guess only time will tell if it was worth it but I am digging it so far ๐ŸŽ‰

Done!!! Phew that was a process! I got the foam in buuuut I wouldn't recommend the route I went. I didn't want to have to open up my #ergodoxez so I went with individual key switch IXPE foam stickers that go between the switch and the board and it really was like playing operation ๐Ÿซ 

2025-04-29

I only have half my switches changed out because I was trying to do one row at a time and now I can REALLY hear the difference with these new gateron smoothie switches + IXPE foam.

How would folks go about adding a way to switch between dark/light mode in their #terminal emulator? Or would it be the #shell? I just want an easy way to switch in my #alacritty terminal to switch to a light mode theme and then go back to a dark theme?

Our April Online meetup is almost here! Here from Liz Pine about Objects and Test Boundaries: Finding Balance. We all know over time the tests get slow, and there are many well known and effective techniques for addressing slow tests, but let's dive in how we can get to the core of this issue!
