At least once a week, my finger hits between the Ctrl and the A and selects all of the text in my document for my next rapid keystroke to clear and destroy the entire document. Sadly, following up with Ctrl-z does not bring it back. This makes the Hacker's Keyboard useless for all applications that do not keep an archive of my work because my documents keep being destroyed like weapon factories in Europe during WW2.\r\n\r\nOne possibility is to swap the position of the Ctrl key and the Esc key, or at least provide us with that option. The keyboard is just not reliable for most purposes when you risk losing your documents.\r\n\r\nI considered a Ctrl-A select-all failsafe, but that won't work if the failsafe message is positioned over the keyboard in any way because your next keystroke might be positioned right under the OK button that pops up, and with a fully selected document might come another keystroke that destroys it all. You would have to make sure the failsafe message appears above the keyboard where that couldn't happen.\r\n\r\nIf you don't swap the keys and the failsafe idea is no good, you should at least give us the option to turn off the Ctrl-A select-all functionality altogether.\r\n\r\nThere might be other ideas. But this absolutely must be solved. It is a critical shortcoming with an otherwise marvelous keyboard."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/klausw/hackerskeyboard/issues/comments/245528375","html_url":"https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard/issues/487#issuecomment-245528375","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/klausw/hackerskeyboard/issues/487","id":245528375,"user":{"login":"DavidPesta","id":887698,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/887698?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/DavidPesta","html_url":"https://github.com/DavidPesta","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DavidPesta/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DavidPesta/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DavidPesta/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DavidPesta/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DavidPesta/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DavidPesta/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DavidPesta/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DavidPesta/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DavidPesta/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-09-08T08:26:31Z","updated_at":"2016-09-08T08:26:31Z","body":"@Rhialto - **Totally untrue!** Absolutely 0% of all keyboards in this Google image search have the ctrl key next to the A key.
