To OP and people who elaborately configure their keyboards - is it worth it? Does it improve performance by a meaningful amount?
I've been thinking about observing my typing / window interaction patterns and optimizing them, but never could find the motivation. Sometimes I catch myself pixel-hunting some control in my IDE and wondering if there is a shortcut for it, but then again, is configuring/learning the shortcut worth the trouble?
Or maybe configurability benefits kick in after a threshold? I think there is a reality where I can be at least 5% productive by just streamlining my "head-computer" link, but I'm not sure what it's going to take to get there.
- vimda 4y agoHonestly, the biggest improvement for me has not been typing performance, but ergonomics. Being able to remap common shortcuts to things that don't stress my aging joints as much has been fantastic
- mkl 4y agoAgreed, my motivation is bad joints, and performance and convenience are a bonus if they happen.
- forgotmypw17 4y agoThe biggest easy win for me has been to get a full-size standard layout keyboard and almost always use it with my laptop.
