> Those keyboards are less than 60 keys so they require layers to get at what doesn’t fit on the default layout. This is the one reason that has kept me from switching to an ergodox/keyboard.io/… keyboard. I want as many keys as possible, not fewer! For instance, I would never buy a keyboard without a proper row of function keys. I'm already finding it hard to decide what to bind them to because there are so many things I use and need on a regular basis… > This sounds like a hassle but ergonomically it’s very good! It's not. The fewer keys you have, the more you'll be inclined to resort to key combinations for your window manager / editor / … and these are generally bad from an ergonomic point of view. Even with multiple key board layers or modal editing, you still have to press far more keys to get done what on a larger keyboard would take you one single key stroke.
