``Simple and convenient'' ``I want the best'' Resonance with the ``ultimate programming tool'' that can only be copied and pasted

What do you do when you copy and paste while working on your computer?

I think that each person has their own way of doing it, but in general, you can either "copy" and "paste" by right-clicking the mouse or trackpad, or "Ctrl (command) + c" and "Ctrl (command ) + v” shortcut key.

It's not a particularly difficult operation, but copying and pasting is a frequent operation. There must be some people who think that it would be easier if there was an easier way to do it.

This time, it is a hot topic on Twitter that a tool that solves such problems has been born. Here it is.

An ultra-compact keyboard with just two colorfully illuminated keys.

The left key says "Copy" and the right key says "Pe". Looking at the display of shortcut keys under each character, it seems to represent "copy" and "paste".

Yes, this is a great one that allows you to copy and paste just by pressing each key. What would normally require you to press two keys at the same time can be completed with a single tap.

Simple and convenient

For this copy and paste keyboard, on Twitter,

"Hey... what a simple and convenient key!" "I don't really need it, but I really want it."

The

key can be set arbitrarily

The topic is the image posted by Twitter user Holy Cater (@linear_pcm0153) on April 20, 2021. On the 21st, the J Town Net reporter asked Ms. Holy, the poster, for a detailed story.

In addition to designing and constructing audio-visual equipment, Holy says that he blogs about the tools he has built himself. The copy-paste keyboard in the post was assembled at home using a 2-key keyboard purchased on the Internet.

“I was looking for a device that would allow the stage sound and lighting operators to turn over the script in a data format that is not paper-based. Even with the 9-key model, there are cases where there are many keys, and the ultimate goal is to turn the page forward and back. I thought it would be fine with just one, so I looked for it and found it."

I tried to make it for copy and paste instead of turning pages, and it is a topical keyboard. By the way, the expression "ultimate" in the post is a comment that is conscious of the old topic of "making a keyboard for the purpose of copying and pasting" on the Internet.

Holy says that this two-key keyboard allows you to set and register arbitrary actions, including shortcuts such as "ctrl +", to each key. In this case, "Ctrl+c" and "Ctrl+v" were registered respectively. It can be used by connecting it to a computer with a USB cable.

“The keytops are printed with 12mm transparent black letter Tepra (PC label software). The software I use is the Tepra printing app SPC10. It is possible to do it in a pseudo manner by changing it." (Holy) No.

Regarding the response on Twitter, Holy said,

"I'm surprised that the smallest programmable keyboard that I don't know how many times has been reacted to so far, and I thought it was amazing that almost no one bothered me even though there was a 'programming tool' and a misconversion with flick input. '
