> I still often feel that I would like to have an extra row of buttons on the Ergodox/Moonlander, instead of the layer system. Oh, well ... This is one of the things (the other being price) that stop me from jumping on the moonlander. I really like having direct access to some functions I don't use constantly, like media controls and such. I don't mind having to move my hand to reach those, since I don't use them constantly, but it's practical to be able to operate them with just one finger. Like volume when I'm eating, etc. The Moonlander doesn't even have proper F keys... More generally, this is a gripe I have with compact keyboards. I would really love to have "macro" keys, either to the top or to the left of the keyboard, but I absolutely hate having a number pad. For some reason, all the "compact" keyboards seem to want to go "as compact as possible". I don't carry my keyboard with me and have enough desk space for a big surface keyboard. I just don't want my mouse hand to have to travel far to reach the mouse.
