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....

Leopold FC660C: - Common Kit - Modifier Keys (Text or Icon) - Extreme Modifiers (Text or Icon) - A single 6u spacebar that you can not find in this drop
You can find a single 6u spacebar in ABS or PBT and different colors (the Granite color codes are in the description) here: http://pimpmykeyboard.com/dsa-spacebars-pack-of-1/
For Novatouch TKL :
- Common Kit - Icon Modifiers - RGBYO Icon Modifiers
For Leopold FC660C :
- Elven Tongue Kit - Icon Pro Modifiers - Icon Extreme Modifiers - Bonus Pack
I think that should be enough. Am I missing something?
By the way thanks for that link to PMK. Will check it later (what is the color code of Granite anyway)?
@WNovizar no, your setup for the Leopold FC660C is wrong. You need:
- Elven Tongue Kit - Common Kit (you need it for the backslash cap \) - Modifier Keys (Icon or Text for insert, delete and bottom row) - Extreme Modifiers (Icon or Text for the 2.25u shift cap)
Colors Codes: ALPHA (Light Gray) : GKK MODS (Medium Gray) : GDE RED : RBH GREEN : VAZ BLUE : BCT YELLOW : YR ORANGE: OBB Dark Gray: GQT
The spacebar belongs to the ALPHA groupe.
Thanks for your help
