Talk:Computer keyboard/to do
Here's a list of comments after a quick reading of the article (please voice your opinions/suggestions):
- by-pass redirect to computer peripheral; ok, this should be uncontroversial :-)
- avoid repetitions in lead section (e.g. "other keys do not produce any symbol, but instead affect the operation of the computer or the keyboard itself" just repeats "to control the operation of a computer"). I guess we could remove "Keyboards are designed for the input of text and characters and also to control the operation of a computer."
- the word "produce", used in many places, is a tad perplexing to me; what does it mean to "produce a symbol"? Note that what you type may not be visible at all, or be visible much later. Suggestions for better wordings?
- "Roughly 50% of all keyboard keys produce letters, numbers or signs (characters). Other keys can produce actions when pressed, and other actions are available by the simultaneous pressing of more than one action key". Again, except for indicating a percentage (is that right, BTW? and is it needed?) this just seems to repeat, once again, what is said above
- "lay-out" -> "layout"
- Add reference to Panic button
- Remove/reduce the "Keys on a computer keyboard" section? There's a navigation box now...
- Expand the "How it works" section, possibly with pictures/diagrams
- CTRL+ALT+DELETE should just be mentioned, and a link to the relevant article be provided; the behavior when the combination is used is various enough to leave the details to its own article (see comments by Fourohfour and Gam3, below)
