I use an ergodox EZ with this layout https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/ZPn5v/latest/0 https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/ZPn5v/la... (I'm constantly tweaking it though). There are lots of inefficiencies but they aren't causing me enough pain to change them yet. My favorite things about this layout are the number of dual-function keys (blue keys), the Mvmnt layer (I use the keyboard for 95% and laptop's mousepad the other 5%), and the sym&num layer so my most-used symbols are easily accessible for me.
There's a relatively easy way to find out what keys you use the most using git log, clean up the output, then feed that into a tool (forget the name) that outputs the frequency of each key. I did that and that's why those particular symbols are where they are.
- monroewalker 6y agoOh cool, thanks for sharing. That keyboard has a similar shape to the Kinesis keyboard I got a while ago. Could never really get into it though. It was nice for typing with two hands once I got familiar with it, but I think it made one-hand typing too difficult and there were actually a number of times where I'd have one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard and just need to do minimal typing. I should give that keyboard another shot though. Which key switches the layer/function of the keys? I think something like that is possible with the keyboard I have as well but I haven't explored it at all
- auslegung 6y agoI switch layers with my right thumb. Any key that has LT -> 1 (or whatever number) switches to that layer while I’m holding that key. I could set it up to not have to hold the key but then I forget what layer I’m on lol
