Always cool to see people make their own layouts. Those chords are quite a neat feature.
If you want to try something that's a lot more chord-based and which uses even fewer keys (basically just 23 keys), then I'd recommend downloading Plover and learning Steno. It takes quite a while to learn, but once you do it's very comfortable and can be very fast.
Here's steno on a hobby machine at 202 WPM for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APT7SN1iof8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APT7SN1iof8

- MivLives 5y agoThe dev of it uses it to code the program itself.
- DavidVoid 5y ago> Does it work for programming? Yes, you can customize your dictionaries as much as you like and add common words/symbols that you use in programming, and there are decent options for writing in camelCase etc. There's also Emily's symbol dictionary which is good for writing various symbols [1], here's a poster showing all the symbols available in it [2]. > does it work for typing in different languages? Yes. As long as there's an existing steno theory for the languages you want to use, then you can download those dictionaries and learn those theories. But if there isn't an existing theory/dictionary for a language then you can just use fingerspelling instead [3] (i.e., write letter by letter like on a regular keyboard), although that's ofc much slower than regular Steno is.
