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? In short: SpaceFN is easy to implement, easy to learn, costs nothing, can be used with any keyboard, and can improve your productivity instantly. I will list its benefits below, but can state right at this point that the SpaceFN concept, setting up your space key as a layer switch when held, is clearly one of the most useful tweaks in the keyboard hobby....

Now I understand that the MiniVan supports LEDs but that those do not come with the drop and have to be purchased separately. No big deal, frankly, but that brings up some questions about those:
- What should I be looking for in the LEDs that I need to order?
- Does the color matter? I understand that differently colored LEDs require different resistors and such. I will probably get warm white LEDs if I can find them at the right kind, is this going to be a problem?
Seems a little early to ask but I'd rather order them sooner rather than later as mail from China tends to take a very, very long time where I live. I ordered a bunch of post-its and it literally took a month and a half.Thanks in advance
