It’s interesting you mention this, as I (somebody who has always used basic keyboards) just recently bought a split ortholinear mechanical keyboard for this exact reason. Curious to see what the experience is like. The ideals of improved er

The most interesting thing about this for me (as somebody who already uses TiddlyWiki and is just curious about features) is the ability to easily make flashcards from components of your zettelkasten. I already use Anki heavily for studies
