If anyone's interested in something way faster that still lets you go one handed. Take a look at the charachorder. You can type one handed, or easily rip 200wpm

If anyone's interested in something way faster that still lets you go one handed. Take a look at the charachorder. You can type one handed, or easily rip 200wpm with 2 hands. But it does take like a year to get fast. I was coming from a moonlander tho so I was ready
- y-curious 11mo agoThank you for sharing, so flipping cool. How do you handle the mouse navigation aspect? That’s one thing missing from my glove80
- helios_tu 11mo agoZMK on the glove80 has mouse control! I use a modified version of this keymap: https://sunaku.github.io/moergo-glove80-keyboard.html#mouse-layer https://sunaku.github.io/moergo-glove80-keyboard.html#mouse-... Essentially, hold down a thumb key and WASD (well, ESDF) moves the mouse.
- fallat 11mo agoI want to pull the trigger on this so badly. I've had my eyes on it for years. It seems the best way to increase typing speed is to reduce finger movement via physical modifications to a keyboard. Does charachorder support Dvorak-like layout mentally? Not a 1-1 but something similar? Like vowels on left hand?
- 392 11mo agoThe best way to speed up is to practice. Alternative layouts are a waste of time unless you're trying to fix an ergonomic / pain issue, and even then the board itself and your technique and lifestyle are more important. I type faster than any Dvorak user I've met and I did nothing make that happen except be impatient. But typing is basically over with now that Whisper is a single button press away.
- fallat 11mo agoI use Dvorak, so I'm asking to maybe make the transition easier LOL.
- piskov 11mo agoYear seems not worth it: all the time spent on learning just won’t pay off unless you’re a school or college student
- cons0le 11mo agoevery time I send an entire email template with one keystroke, it's worth it. Maybe not for everyone, but for people that are basically at their computer all day everyday, its great. Sentences, paragraphs, macros, templates, everything can be just 1 keystroke. Granted, I used to be able to do this with custom firmware on the moonlander, but with the charachorder it feels more smooth
- piskov 11mo agoAin’t the same is true with keyboard layers. Nothing prevents you to create, let’s say, capslock+q to insert one ting, capslock+w — another, etc. Basically this is how keyboards like “ultimate hacking keyboard” and what have you work: record arbitrary keystorkes, macros.
