As a full time 40% keyboard user, I take issue with the sentiment that the form factor is impractical for development. Holding a layer modifier to access symbols on the home row is less work than moving to the far reaches of a 101 key board, and often having to hit shift as well anyway!
I wrote an article on the subject recently if you're up for having your assumptions challenged: https://callumoakley.net/posts/48-keys-are-plenty https://callumoakley.net/posts/48-keys-are-plenty
- vijucat 7y agoInteresting, thanks for the article! So it looks like there are two types of people: those who don't mind moving away from the home row a bit but have just one keypress (me) vs. those who value being on the home row and don't mind the additional keypress to access layers with symbols, arrows, , etc;
