I doubt you’ll be able to make something adhere securely long term. if I was to try I would drill holes on the sides only and fill with hot glue. I added hot glue to keys before and it stayed for a fairly long time. Holes on the top will be annoying on the fingertips. There would always be a perceptible difference. And your filler will eventually fall off. if you really wish to pursue the project you will need to investigate the material your keys are made of and what will adhere to it.

You’re basiclaly trying to DIY double shot keys. I think it would be really hard to duplicate this without a factory:

I suggest you go on ali express and buy shine-through key of the same profile and compatible texture. You can buy blank keys or modifier keys in small amounts, even one at a time depending. Make sure to get the correct size per your layout.

lots! I love add ons. I have dozens of them installed but I disable whatever I’m not currently using. I usually have about 5-10 active at a time. I go for the simple, single use ones ala “unix philosophy” when able because I feel they don’t eat up resources and present less security risk.

They’re so convenient for random little tasks. Like a while ago I had to use this webpage that made you check boxes individually for every single item… like >60 check boxes. I have an addon that lets you bulk select and check boxes. Very rarely needed but great to have.

And I have certain groups of add ons that I use for specific tasks. When I am conducting research I have an addon for zotero, to avoid pay walls, the way back machine, singlefile and other record-keeping tools. Bulk file downloaders; which you need several of because they don’t all work for every situation. Also more advanced history and bookmark interfaces. Don’t need them most of the time.

Firefox is so great about allowing add-ons, it turns it into a powerful tool for all kinds of niche use-cases. I wish it would have a more sophisticated way to manage them. However also I am aware that I’m an unusual user so

I did that a while ago but I never remember to use it :(

i know but you have to do it every time.

Am not a gamer. But i made a sort of platform for my laptop to sit on to keep it being flush on a surface esp like couch or bed where no air goes in. I found a coated metal wire thingamagig thats the right size, and used zip ties to add stoppers so it doesn’t slide off. Im sure you can buy something like this instead of make it out of garbage like i did.

Anyways one of the really useful side benefits is that i can clip the power cord to the platform so that there is no tension on the connectors. My power outlets sometimes in the opposite direction from the connector and if i dont use the platform thing it is always pulling.

was it a qoo wop song?

why was Google able to find the answer to questions exactly like this 6+ years ago?

curious if there is any way to know for sure if this is the case? is there documentation of vague google searches over time to track their results? sort of seems like a “don’t know what you got til it’s gone” sort of thing for the average user. but maybe there is some academic work or industry publications to this effect?

We do have a good 10-20 years of every news story intro containing a line like “a google search for ‘spatula’ returns 2.5million results”. remember when journalists and other writers thought that just putting a single search term into a search engine was the way to conduct online research?

otherwise it is really just your recollection how it felt then vs now. i can’t comment on @merc@sh.itjust.works’s programing skills but the point about changing expectations is a good one. not to mention that the amount of available data has exploded.

I tried the ones I found but they choke on these complicated tables
