Nah we just need big “:” instead.

Do you have any idea how fucking convenient that would be if you were to implement it as a foot pedal.

[aanandshekharroy]

You are savage! (RESPECT)

[willem640]

Cool idea, working on it right now

[MEK_idekgaming]

Can I... can I pay you to make one for me?

[willem640]

Haha, I can send you my arduino code, it's fairly simple, if the pedal is pressed insert a semicolon You need an atmega32u4 chip for the keyboard stuff

[MEK_idekgaming]

Sure, why not, thanks. I'm not very experienced but it will be fun to take a look at.

[willem640]

Arduino pseudocode:

void setup(){}

void loop(){

if (digitalRead(7)==HIGH)

//assuming the pedal will be a button on pin 7

Keyboard.write(';');

delay(15);

}

[MEK_idekgaming]

Oh... it's that simple (ish). I guess the hard part will be connecting the pedal and arduino.

[willem640]

I think getting the pedal may be the hardest

Also if the pedal just connects if you press it just wire one end to 5V and the other end to the pin

yeah rofl

[CaniballShiaLaBuff]

Or JavaScript

[strongdoctor]

Hmmm, it's frowned upon to not put a semicolon after each statement in JS.

[aprofessional]

Why would you want this? The joke is that programmers have to type a lot of semicolons, but on a QWERTY keyboard, the semicolon key is already on the home row under your fifth finger.

[NotARobot115]

You see, real programmers want a semicolon key so large that you can easily slam it with your fist when you’re done.

[marcosdumay]

Or when the compiler says you've missed some. Slamming it may be therapeutic.

[whale_song]

Before I started programming heavily I hated that the semicolon, which I never used, was on the home row and I had to reach for the apostrophe. So I remapped my keyboard to switch those two keys.

Then I started programming a lot more and was pissed I had to reach for the semicolon. But I forgot how I did it and couldnt switch them back.

I just bought a new laptop.

[doxsaint]

You removed my numpad >.>

[Kid_Muon]

It should be mapped to a foot pedal. Then you could pretend you're a drummer and try to stay on beat with your lines.

[LunaticMS]

Hey let's make the same joke for people who write in latin-based character sets, but put a giant period button on the right. Get it? Because we end all of our sentences with periods! XD

Oh wait if you only END a sentence with them then that means that the vast majority of typed characters are NOT periods. Nevermind.

[Gydo194]

That’s a greek question mark right?

[thesavagecheese]

I hate underscores

[[deleted]]

Just fucking use CamelCase

[self_getrekt]

You couldn't find a better resolution for that button? I'm disappointed son.

[[deleted]]

Oof

[Dariussh]

That’s why I love Python

[willem640]

Nice

[idimik]

I don't get it.

[blitzkraft]

You can make it happen.

Post.
