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....

Great suggestion, I changed my vote from one of my own suggestions to your suggestion!
Since this keyboard will have a layout, it is necessary to define: - what layout it will be. I suggest "US International". - how the layout will be added to the keys. Options would be printed (cheap, not long-lasting) or engraved/etched (expensive, long-lasting)
Please add those aspects to your suggestion (or have an administrator add it should you not be able to change it on your own).
BTW: What does DCS stand for?
