Home Row problem
After reading the description of Home Row, I've noticed a pitfall. In many non-English keyboards the ';' needs shift and is not in the same row. I suggest adding 'h' (halt) as an alias for ';'. That would ease and speed up typing programs in this language. Granted, it's not an instruction that is used much, but the shift key is used very often and thus is more prone to get broken. This change would allow to use Home Row even in keyboards that have a broken Shift key, augmenting its international usability. pgimeno 14:48, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- Aside from the fact that on most keyboards the shift key is also not on the home row. But still, this doesn't quite satisfy the French, unless you add 'q' or 'g' as an alias for 'a'. -- Smjg 01:02, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- I suggest anyone wanting an international version of home row to make one that is acceptable for all keyboards because I am not familiar enough with foreign keyboard standardizations and whatnot to rewrite the language with additional specifications. PuzzleHunter84 21:06, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
