✨ NAME ✨

buckle — the nostalgia bucklespring keyboard sound, bestie 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

buckle [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you're typing in an X session, right? And buckle makes every single keypress sound like an actual old IBM Model-M space saver bucklespring keyboard. The clicky one. The iconic one. 👑

It runs as a background process — lowkey just vibing back there — and it plays back the sound of each key pressed and released on the keyboard, exactly as if you were on an IBM Model-M. Not me being dramatic, but the sound of every key has been carefully sampled, and it gets played back while simulating the proper distance and direction for a realistic 3D sound palette of pure nostalgic bliss. Like. It's giving audio engineering. It's giving time travel. 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -d DEVICE — use OpenAL audio device DEVICE
  • -f — use a fallback sound for unknown keys (for the mysterious keys, the ones nobody talks about 🙈)
  • -g GAIN — set playback gain, in the range [0..100]
  • -m CODE — set use CODE as the mute key (default is 0x46 for scroll lock)

  • -l — list available openAL audio devices
  • -p PATH — load .wav files from directory PATH
  • -s WIDTH — set stereo width, in the range [0..100]
  • -v — increase verbosity / debugging (say more, bestie, we're listening 👂)

And that's the whole page, fr fr 💜 this one came from the BUCKLE(1) manual — "Nostalgia bucklespring keyboa..." (they had to cut it off, tragic 😭), dated September 2016, and the source/version line reads BUCKLE(1). Slay. 🎀✨
