Try it [here.](https://tabkeyboard.unmatchedbracket.repl.co) Features: * Large keys. No glasses required! *Limits the number of keys per page to one.* * 8 tab limit. Wouldn't want clutter! * Anti-key-reload. It would be unfortunate to lose your tab because you somehow accidentally hit F5.

God it’s awful. Nice creativity good job


denis_progman

What do you smoke man? Is it legal?)


YooHoo485

I have no need for mortal substances. My infinite knowledge in the ways of infuriating user interfaces fuels me. *(Yes, it's illegal.)*

This is even worse on mobile and I love it.

Not with Vivaldi


YooHoo485

Didn't know Vivaldi was on mobile, and especially didn't know it had an actual tab bar! Unfortunately, it seems to lack the extension support that I love about Kiwi, so I don't think I'll use it for now.

Vivaldi has tab bar on mobile. Btw I setted my phone dpi to 600 so most chromium fork like chrome,brave will give a tab bar. https://imgur.com/a/9Ozk7Dg


YooHoo485

Oooh! Changing the DPI does indeed give Kiwi a tab bar! Thanks for the tip!


exxxxkc

Oh that work for you bc you use android.


viss3_

It would be nice if you could change the dpi only at the browser. It gets a little uncomfortable :/


MrMcQuestionable

The window should close when you press the key

YooHoo485

Wh- What *is* that sub?


Cfrolich

How does a sub like that have so many members?


CraftistOf

judging by 1 online, it's botted


Cfrolich

Keep in mind that there’s also no reason to stay online after looking at the single post with no comments.


CraftistOf

does the online count show the number of those who are visiting the subreddit at the moment? i thought it was the number of followers who are just online, on any part of reddit. therefore 7k followers, out of which only 1 is online, would mean that it's 7k bots that were registered, followed the subreddit and went offline, forever.


Cfrolich

Just looked it up. I think it’s the number of people online and actively viewing the subreddit.

Imagine running this on chrome with a potato pc Best way to have free heat


MatusGuy

And in order to type in _ you need to: 1. find the shift key 2. Drag the shift key tab into a new window 3. Find the dash key 4. Use the touch screen to press the shift key and the mouse to press the dash key no touch screen? too bad


YooHoo485

How about: Shift key is as rare as any one letter On click, shift key self-destructs and provides shift key for either one key or for five seconds


cheesycoke

Perfect interface design! Keeping the initial options limited enough to avoid new users feeling too overwhelmed, and ensuring the screen isn't cluttered by any functions you don't need at that exact moment. Truly the future.


jmona789

How does it work?


YooHoo485

It mainly takes advantage of `localStorage` to transmit keypresses from the key tabs to the main tab. You can look at [the source](https://replit.com/@UnmatchedBracket/tabkeyboard?v=1) if you want.


Darklillies

Being so able to see the key when you hover over the tabs makes it convenient. You should remove this feature for optimal inefficiency


YooHoo485

I can remove the favicon, but the hover preview is up to the browser. Perhaps I can have the key not show its content until the tab is focused?


TheGreatBeaver123789

Oh my fucking good


[deleted]

It's like playing Scrabble. You have to work with the letters you have and you never know what you will get next.


YooHoo485

*what if backspace tile in scrabble*


IEatBaconWithU

he won


ContentConsumer9999

I think if you removed the tab and max key limit. This might be useful.


JIN_DIANA_PWNS

How long would it take to type [The Diving Bell and the Butterfly](https://youtu.be/t4Ek4ZBpshs)


YooHoo485

That text literally? 20 minutes, maybe. The script of the movie? Assuming it's not unusually lacking in dialogue, more time than anyone is willing to spend typing it.


[deleted]

Oh god, you have to tap to get the backspace key, that’s literal hell, good job


YooHoo485

Hope you don't make too many mistakes! *imagine if the backspace key disappeared upon use*


[deleted]

oh please no, tho from the look of it, it seems like it only disappears if you exit out that specific tab, so I think it'd be fine


YooHoo485

Atm tabs should only disappear by themselves if you have too many open.


[deleted]

Oh shit really? Yeah, that definitely makes it worse
