      Apparently it will be cheaper than the Optimus because it doesn't have a screen per key.

        Though I'm not sure how nice it would be to use a keyboard without physical keys... maybe just a habit adjustment...?

          Cool! But $2400US. 😲

          That would be really neat in conjunction with that tablet I'm eying.

          I was thinking a bit lower tech. Like a keyboard with transparent key covers that could be removed and little icons printed on paper inserted.

          ThinkGeek shows it at $1600US but not available.

            That could be cool. I see your point but you could make it so frequently used keys are bigger or in easier to reach locations.

            Even the Aux which appears to be only a prototype would be good.

              It can display video on its surface. ...so maybe a 3d model...?

                That would be neat.

                I was looking at the Project Blog and there's a compact keyboard in the works with larger displays on the keys (64x64) and expected to sell for under $1000US. Of course that was from June. Who knows what's really going to be available.

                  I had thought it would be a nice interface to assign keyboard shortcuts to have a keyboard image that you could just drag tools into vs. the current method. Another thing that would be nice (short of improved GUI to assign keyboard shortcuts) is a plugin that would generate a keyboard shortcut screenshot based on your current settings.

                    David, those are great ideas. There's a plugin to generate a list of the assigned keyboard shortcuts. I wonder if it is possible to make a plugin that would paste PNG images at specified coordinates over a drawing of the keyboard.

                      Drumming up an old thread....but is there anyway to access a list of assigned keyboard shortcuts and perhaps export them as .csv? I'm teaching my wife Sketchup and want to get her used to the shortcuts I have setup, but am being too lazy to write them all down.

                        There's a plugin that will create a list of the assigned shortcuts. I think it is called shortcuts.rb. I'll see if I can find the link.

                        Here you go: http://rld.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=373

                        You can then copy the shortcuts from the list and paste them into whatever sort of document you want.

                            i have my standart modeling tools assigned to mouse buttons in combination with "shift", "strg" and "alt" (the mouse buttons no.3-5 have assigned the function keys "F3", and "F8" and "F10" assigned)
                            I can select them without thinking. It's more like finger gestures that happen automatically.
                            The resulting combinations are at the moment:

                            F3..........................pointer/select
                            F3+shift.................push/pull
                            F3+ctrl...................mirror selection (plugin)
                            F3+alt....................line
                            F8..........................move
                            F8+shift.................rotate
                            F8+ctrl..................scale
                            F8+alt...................rectangle
                            F3+shift+ctrl..........tape measure
                            F3+shift+alt...........circle
                            F8+shift+ctrl..........fredo scale - box scaling
                            F8+ctrl+alt............follow me
                            F3+shift+ctrl+alt....paint bucket
                            F8+shift+ctrl+alt....offset

                            and some keyboard only:

                            ^............................reverse face
                            X............................toggle x-ray
                            Q............................remove all materials
                            H............................toggle hidden geometry
                            G............................make group
                            G+shift...................make component
                            v............................field of view
                            z............................zoom extends

                            T+shift+ctrl............uv-frontface to backface
                            T+shift+alt.............uv-backface to frontface
                            T+shift+ctrl+alt......delete backside material

                            and some standart shortcuts like
                            shift+ctrl+v............paste in place
                            T............................top view
                            .
                            .
                            .
