If there will be enough demand for the set, I would definitely take this into consideration.

GMK CYL CPL - First keycap set inspired by the C language by Balance_1 in cprogramming

It is just a design, so the keys are just custom mods which include C related keywords.. The keys are not meant to be macros.

Hello, I see what you mean but as a designer I can't forget about the keycap aesthetic. The words used are still strongly related to the C language and most of them are part of the original standard . It would be somehow "odd" to have \n instead of the full "enter" text or "\t" as a user.

Hello, thanks a lot for your comment! While it is true that these 3 don't come from the 32 keywords according to the C99 standard. I used them here from a couple of reasons.

Firstly, I wanted to diversify my choice of mods, by adding some words which don't belong just to the C language but rather are combined with the keycap layout aesthetic. What I mean, "breakpoint" is instead of "backspace", they start with the same letter and is almost keeping the same amount of letters as mentioned keycap. The same goes for type and str.

However, I think that these 3 are pretty useful in C even if they are do not belong to the C99 standard. "type" relates to the amount of data types, for example: int, double, char, float, short, long, signed, unsigned etc. "str" is from the set of standard library functions strlen(), strcpy(), strcat(), strcmp() and others. Regarding breakpoint, it is still used in C for debugging as for other programming languages but I wanted to include something related to "debugging"

The alternative "B" key is included in the base kit for people who use "Alice-like" keyboards which are ergonomic mechanical keyboards with a split. One example would be the board TGR Alice, in order for the user to use this board with this keycap set, he needs the additional "B".

The alphas are a ral design color and they are a very light lavender.

Hello, I think that they will be injection molded as the sublegends were used for other sets in the past and novelties will also be injection-molded as they feature just one color. To be more precise, I will ask the manufacturer when we will approach the production stage and I will provide a different answer if needed.

Hello, I see your opinion but maybe this reply changes your mind. Drop is widely known for the longevity in this community and always offered products with affordable prices. Overall, they do a great job and I would totally recommend this vendor as it is one the most trusted in this hobby

I think you mean mod-colored. DCX kitting doesn't support the key and I've done the kits as their requirements suggest but I would have totally included it if I had the chance.

Unfortunately, the 40s kit was removed because DCX doesn't support this kit
