omg, I've mapped some keys to resemble HHKB layout and my fingers already glued

here's xremap snippet

  - name: HHKBImitation
    remap:
      Ctrl_R-LEFTBRACE: UP
      Ctrl_R-APOSTROPHE: RIGHT
      Ctrl_R-SEMICOLON: LEFT
      Ctrl_R-SLASH: DOWN
      Ctrl_R-K: HOME
      Ctrl_R-COMMA: END
      Ctrl_R-L: PAGEUP
      Ctrl_R-DOT: PAGEDOWN
      Ctrl_R-BACKSLASH: DELETE

I have had Caps remapped to left Ctrl and backslash/backspace swapped, but I haven't expected those new arrow keys to be so natural :neocat_floof_explode:

#hhkb #xremap #keymaps

i have a thing to complain about.
i have recently been getting into keyboards and alternative layouts. which is all well and good.
i have three keyboards: a #unicomp model m, a #corne , and a #hhkb .
the corne was already vial compatible, i was able to flash new firmware for my unicomp and that's just fine.
the hhkb. the hhkb only use a proprietary remapping tool, and my hhkb, the professional classic, is not supported for the arbitrary reason that it is the base model.

Is anyone using the HHKB Hybrid Type-S ? Is it worth it? #hhkb

so i have been using my #unicomp model m after using my #hhkb for ages with my laptop and in many ways its a nicer experience. sometimes i miss the dedicated arrow keys. however. my model m is iso uk layout, the same as my laptop. but i have gotten really used to the hhkb american layout.
things like the escape key being closer, the backspace being above the enter, control on caps lock (by default, i use software to rebind it on my built in laptop keyboard and my unicomp).

Edit: Just noticed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Hacking_Keyboard that the #HHKB Pro 2 is now 20 years old — released in March 2006 — and the HHKB in general nearly 30 years, released in December 1996.

One year after getting my #HHKB (Happy Hacking Keyboard) I'm still not sure whether I like it or not. I stand by my original opinion that the keyboard is good, but wildly overhyped.

Pros:

- looks great
- topre switches
- mac-friendly layout
- no caps lock (it's left control)

Cons:

- Questionable layout choices (no dedicated arrows, ~ in an absurd position, \ and Del swapped)
- Tiny alt/opt keys
- No right control (there's definitely space for one)
- No advanced remapping capabilities (think QMK)
- I constantly have to wake it up and the sleep interval is not configurable (why doesn't any key press wake it up???)
- the battery hatch is ugly
- it doesn't switch to USB-C automatically when you plug it in...
- rarely it loses connection with my computer (e.g. once per 6 months) and I need to redo the setup

It's a good keyboard for sure (any keyboard with Topre switches is pretty good by default), but in some ways it feels like a step back from my beloved Leopold FC660C that it replaced. My guess is that mostly people hype the HHKB mostly because they've never touched another Topre keyboard or are more forgiving about poor layout choices and configuration options than me.

If someone makes a real modern keyboard with Topre switches I'll likely immediately dump the HHKB.

Got my #hhkb and i am on my third attempt to install #gentoo on my main laptop

As a paternity leave side quest, I decided to assemble a custom #keyboard (#HHKB layout, clicky switches, blingy RGBs). It was kind of fun!
