| 46152 | 2002-04-28 23:07:00 | I'm using a Compaq keyboard with, you guessed it, a split space bar. The left hand bit does a backspace/delete and the right bit is real a space bar. As I'm doing a lot more typing these days the left hand end is becoming a pain in the butt. There is a Compaq utility to change the spacebar mode but it only seems to work on Compaqs and my computer is a Dell. I like the rest of the keyboard so would appreciate suggestions that *don't* include replacing it... any ideas? Cheers, Nick |
