Hi folks,

i was wondering if anyone had tried using those vim keyboard stickers and if they were any good?

the kind of thing i mean is this:
http://www.maestroeditor.com/vi-and-vim-editor-keyboard-sticker-p-163.html

I was thinking about using something like this, in order to get my vimfu up to scratch.
Also i can't seem to find any of these for a uk keyboard layout. Which doesn't matter that much, but still...

Alternatively I was thinking about something like this:
http://dapdesignteam.com/incredible-optimus-maximus-keyboard-with-programmable-image-keys/

though this is the only product of this kind that i could find.
Wouldn't it be useful if whenever you started a program it's program specific shortcut keys were displayed on your keyboard?

I know most people don't look at their keyboard that much when they are using it, but i often feel that my own learning process is all too often passive and reliant on randomly seeing someone i'm working with do something clever, i'd like to make the my own day to day activities a learning process.

FYI, day to day involves terminals, logs and code, less for logs and vim/vi for code.

Suggestions? Any and all are welcome.
