   Well, for programming it's not convenient -- no Insert/Pageup/Screenshot buttons.

      Why do you need screenshot button for programming? How many times do you press it? You can just use fn button for that.

      People are programming on a 36-key keyboards just fine and they don't miss any keys. It's easier to press fn + something than reaching out for screenshot button, which is usually far away. That way, you don't have to move your hands.

         The cognitive load of having to press two keys takes its toll and breaks flow, even though it doesn't seem like it should make a difference, at least in my experience. I'm back to TKL or larger.
