New subforum for Keysharp

[joedf]

To have Keysharp related posts in the C# subforum looks problematic. 1) It is tucking away Keysharp and making it hard to find. 2) People who are specifically into C# (proper) may not want to see it there. 3) Seems to create confusion.

Possibly a good solution or compromise is to put Keysharp as a subforum of "Other Programming Languages". So there would be "C/C++", "C#", "ASM", and "KeySharp". This way if anybody creates posts related to Keysharp, they're all under the same subforum and easy to find, including that it doesn't create confusion in regards to the other languages.

Seems sound to me!
What do you think @mfeemster ?

This sounds fine to me. I appreciate the support.

Surprising to see a commercial product also has this name. Uh oh! Hopefully they don't find us. I looked around when I was naming the project in 2020 and all I could find was a few open source projects that were unrelated to this subject. I'm keeping the name regardless.

I'm keeping the name regardless.

From Keytech:

Key Tech has developed a PC-based software tool, called Key#™ (pronounced KEY SHARP).

I'm no attorney, nor am I offering legal advice, however, they have trademarked their product. I don't know if you are technically infringing on the trademark as long as you are not trying to profit from your code, but you may want to check into it.
