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....

This picture shows a Ducky Shine 3 ISO/Nordic k-board with the shorter left Shift. The second picture shows one ANSI Ducky Shine 3 k-board and a white Ducky Shine 2 ISO/Nordic k-board.
But are the colors the same?
To solve this problem I bought a ANSI k-board (have 3 now and number 4 is on the way) .
If you look/read at the description side it says that the Purple set will not have a ISO Enter but the rest of the sets will have it. Very strange, why include a ISO Enter when you need the ISO left Shift + more for use it on a ISO/English/Nordic k-board.
I have this purple ANSI keycaps (KBP) set from Pexon in UK and in this set I don't got a ISO Enter, ISO left Shift + some more.

On my white Ducky Shine 2 ISO/Nordic k-board I have keycools ugly/terrible legends ANSI Rainbow set, the capslock + some caps more are keycools but the pink caps, Enter, left Shift, Ö, Ä, Å and more are Duckys ABS ISO/Nordic Shine 2 keycaps set. The second picture shows the k-boards original pink ISO/Nordic keycaps.
