What is SpaceFN and why you should give it a try
The SpaceFN concept - setting up your space key as a layer switch when held - is probably one of the most useful tweaks in the keyboard hobby. Let me explain how it works. My SpaceFN article on kbd.news made some rounds recently - quite surprisingly given the age of this concept. This piece you're reading is a condensed version of the full post. If you're left with unanswered questions, you'll most likely find the info you're looking for in the original write-up. On my imaginary top list of the most useful keyboard features, tweaks and hacks, SpaceFN would deserve a podium finish for sure. But what makes it so special?

Aghhh!!!! Massdrop! You keep doing it again and again! This option was *last* in the vote count, receiving 2 out of 122 total votes. About 1.6% of all the votes cast. Not even tied for last. Authentically dead last.
"Last" cannot by any stretch of the imagination be interpreted as "one of the most requested". One might, if one wants to skirt the truth without being called out in a lie, say that a keyset in the top half of those requested is one of the most requested but *this* one isn't even close.
I like these keys but to the Massdrop promotion department, I beseech you, in the bowels of the His Noodely Goodness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, think it possible that you may be mistaken.
