What the hell is SysRq? I want Cut, Copy, and Paste!


Isn't it about time we abandoned the ancient keyboard layout we are stuck with? I mean, has anyone ever used SysRq ?!

Why don't we have dedicated keys for cut, copy, and paste? They are probably the most used commands on a computer for the last 20 years.

I know most keyboards now come with extra buttons for multimedia playback and web browsing but there is no consistent solution which makes it annoying when swapping between machines.

Maybe the answer is the (in)famous OLED keyboard (pictured) which is either a design prototype or elaborate hoax, depending on who you believe.
