Buying Scrivener on Mac - any difference between buying on website or in AppStore?

Didn’t mean this to get derailed into a keyboard thread, sorry.

Suffice to say, I have good reasons for needing a Hardware keyboard and the stickers/keytops/software solution causes other issues. Like I said, I used to do that thirty years ago and went hardware because it was the best solution.

Sorry to jump in like this, but I sent in an email to sales for the upgrade discount and I seem to be having some trouble contacting L&L. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If this post is inappropriate please send me a PM, and would be glad to continue this conversation elsewhere. I had the app for a long time, and I recently updated my Mac and it no longer supports the app that I purchased. Thanks for your help.

Please check your junk mail to make sure you haven’t misplaced our response. If that doesn’t help, PM me with the email address you used and I’ll make sure we received the note on our side.

How about something like this?

kbcovers.com/dvorak-keyboard-cover/

Or, just a set of keyboard stickers? I realise you may have excellent reasons for avoiding thses solutions, but if so, I’m curious as to what they might be. (I knew a writer who wrote in Cyrillic on a Mac with the use of a keyboard cover, so at least some writers find them an acceptable compromise. )

It would seem that a combination of using these covers plus selecting Dvorak in keyboard preferences would solve his problem.

I wouldn’t notice the different keys. For some reason I tend to wear the letters off the keys. I have a relatively new “Magic” (not) keyboard on this iMac and already the letter A is unreadable unless you know what it is. R and B are fading fast with F, T, B, N and M in hot pursuit. In two years there will be few keys I can read. The keyboard that came with my 2014 iMac and the keyboard on y mid 2015 fifteen inch MBP are great to type on. Unfortunately the 2014 iMac keyboard seems to need batteries at just the wrong times, so it’s sitting in a drawer.

The key wear is most irritating on my 15" mid 2015 MBP because I can’t replace that keyboard easily. I serendipitously got a new keyboard when I had them replace the battery in it a couple of years ago, but the letter A on that one is now a bright spot where the letter used to be where the back slight shines through with other keys deteriorating rapidly from heavy use. The keys on it look worse than those on this keyboard but they function perfectly.

I have an external Mac keyboard that I bought in 2009 it looks brand new. Why? I have washable transparent latex cover on it. The letters don’t wear off the keys. I got it at a Apple store. You can get them online as well. Could solve your problem.

Good luck in finding a workable solution to your problem.
