i use/make my own shortcuts alot but i can't remember the combinations
more than a combination of 2 keys i can't remember them

is there such thing as an add-on to keyboards, such as an blank set of keys, i don't even know if their is a correct term for it

i looked on ebay and i found this:
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/OEM-Gateron-...MAAOSwOSdc98RW



this is what im looking for, the price is high, but if it works, i want to get it


according to that ad, its via usb you plug it in and then you have blank keys

i would then ad all my shortcut via the xfce4-keyboard-settings

the question is, do these things really work?

i am using linux mint


if it works that gives me 48 keys, plus another 48 keys with ctrl and another 48 keys with alt,

this would be way easier to remember,

has anyone owned any of these? if you could direct me to a cheaper or better one,


windows has cortana which i use often, but i spend much more time on linux and theres no cortana on linux



do those keyboards work?

im also looking for a usb extra keys device that i can use my feet,

like this one
https://www.amazon.com/Lemo-1640835-.../dp/B00B3PV47O

but it only has 3 buttons, i need more


im trying to minimize using the mouse, as it's giving my wrist pain, since i use the computer too much
i even taught myself to use my left hand so im not always using my right hand

It says that it will work with Linux, but you need to configure it using Windows 7/8/10 first.

i got this at a garage sale for 2 dollars, and have been playing around with it,

so far it seems to be working, although it was not plug and play, it took me a long time to figure it out

i have to download foot controller
https://sourceforge.net/projects/footcontroller/


after i installed it, i had to set it up, it was a little confusing but the commands i entered in the settings are

xdotool click 1
xdotool click 2
xdotool click 3


so far it seems to be working


im not even sure what it was used for before, i downloaded the philips software using windows and it didn't make sense, i think it was for audio recording or something weird, but instead i am using it as a foot mouse click on linux

on the back it says

LFH 0210/90B
LFH 6212/00
LFH 0210/92


there is also a switch with T/N on it,



it won't work unless i have that linux footcontroller software running


i'll use it for now, and see how it goes
