I didn't ignored it, I answered you. It's not fantastic, it's garbage
for anyone considering the keyboard is superior to the mouse.

 _You_ are garbage.  That keyboard is fantastic.
 For one thing, it parallels the Latin characters with most of the
Greek alphabet.  For example, to type "alpha" I just press Win+a
because "a" is parallel to "alpha."  It's the same for "beta" || "b"
and so on.  I can also get an upper-case "alpha" with Shift+Win+a
and so on.
 Not all the Greek chars are mapped because they are not all common
in mathematical contexts.  In the "holes" I place other standard
math symbols such as integration, partial differentiation, etc.
 As I mentioned, the keyboard needs work.  I only use the "Win" key
and the "Shift+Win" combination but there are a lot of other
combinations possible.  I can create a LOT of math symbols.
 But _you_ cannot realize my fantastic keyboard extension because
you are helplessly stuck in that pseudo-modern junk called
Wayland.
 I say "fuck Wayland."  Give me X and then get out of the fucking
way.
    

Most of your posts, after I read them, create the question for me, "Then what?" I understand you enjoy creating the tools. But beyond some point doing that over and over becomes meaningless. It becomes like what computer enthusiasts do with their computers. Upgrade and upgrade to the best that's possible. And then, instead of taking the next step, they just wait for another upgrade of the computer to become available and jump at it doing what they'd been doing before, tens of times :) Hahhahahhahh :)
Same with the OS. Same with their cars. I guess same with their wives, kids, etc.
They never take the next step. Not anyone in this forum anyway.
I remember after a couple of years of married life, one Saturday morning after we had our breakfast in the nice patio, I turned to her and asked, "So what are we going to do?"
 From the reaction I got on her face it was clear she did not have the slightest idea what my question meant. Eventually she said, "What do you mean?"
I said, "What is our next step?" She didn't understand that either and got silent and just continued her thoughts without actually answering me.
The meaning of my remarks was Chinese to her.
I'm different. I'm still taking "next steps."
