Just noticed I’ve been using this self-designed #ErgoMechKeyboard for about 6 months now, still just bare PCBs taped to a cardboard stand. And at least half of that has been with just a 30 key #KeyboardLayout (one key per thumb).

I feel a blog post or two coming on… but quick notes:

I did try a 3D printed cap for the 5-way navigation button, but it didn’t stay on.

I love the KLP Lamé saddle keycaps! #KLPLamé

Found a new keyboard for you thumbsie folks. To swipe or not to swipe and other questions about you phones keyboard. For now I'll just post this interesting article about optimizing the keyboard for smartphone swipe texting. I am interested in looking for some discussions on smartphone keyboards. Privacy preserving required, OpenSOURCE yes please, hex buttons very cool, thumb centric 👍, emoji that aren't so blocky, QWERTY alternatives, button sizes that make sense, and no AI if you please. How about you? #futo #android #gos #keyboard #opensource #KASROZ #keyboardlayout

Decided I need to implement keyboard layers on the laptop keyboard for times I don't have my #mechanicalkeyboard with me (or that I'm lazy to deploy it).
Bsearchin around I encountered this:
https://github.com/jtroo/kanata
Anyone has experience with it? Anyone has other recommendations (on linux).

@AAMfP there’s some clever ideas in Miryoku but quite the learning curve. This was a good blog series https://www.jonashietala.se/blog/2022/09/06/the_current_t-34_keyboard_layout/ - one of many #KeyboardLayout ideas featured on https://keymapdb.com/ which you can search and filter by number of keys…

Good programmable keyboard blog post from Gregor https://medium.com/grafana-labs/the-secret-world-of-keyboard-wizardry-074d254a4240

"I built a keyboard whose keys finish my words. Here’s the rabbit hole that taught me to build one, and how you can start building your own.

...

One rabbit hole I’ll happily signpost and not go down: designing and 3D-printing your own board. That’s a different madness, and this story is long enough".

That'd be me and #ErgoMechKeyboard design I guess, but of course I tinker with my #KeyboardLayout too 🕳️🐇

for a quick update on my #dvorak typing.

i can now type at about 60 wpm consistently. i much prefer it to #qwerty even though i am still less confident with dvorak. i am still able to type in qwerty but it takes a bit of time to activate that muscle memory but i don't really have a reason to switch back unless i am using my #typewriter (i would love to find a dvorak typewriter).

Ah yes, the classic "random key press ritual" to appease the #macOS keyboard gods. Because who doesn't enjoy a spontaneous game of "guess the keyboard layout" with absolutely no reward? 🎹🔮 Clearly, a modern tech marvel—reminiscent of sorting laundry by sock shape. 🙄

Messing about with my #KeyboardLayout again (that’s half the fun of #QMK or #ZMK etc in a programable #MechanicalKeyboard), this time the mechanism to get capital letters without a dedicated shift key… ⇧

I’m giving #AutoShift another go (long press for capitals), alongside #CapWords (like caps lock, but it turns off at the end of a word), and #MagicCommaShift (comma before letter means shift) 🪄 ⇧

Stuff that just sucks. E.g. has abysmal usability and is very badly implemented:

#android + #physicalKeyboard + #keyboardlayout + #shortcuts

Choose any two of the four and the great spaghetti monster save you

I was trying to remember if shift+space was ever useful while reworking my #KeyboardLayout, and yes:

“You can use spacebar to scroll (and shift space) in reader on macOS”

There are probably other places it is used for reverse pagination…

@vavakado for my #KeyboardLayout I'm using a variant of #HandsDownPromethium https://www.reddit.com/r/KeyboardLayouts/comments/1g66ivi/hands_down_promethium_snth_meets_hd_silverengram/ (which has a vim cursor cluster but I rarely use it), and the modal #HelixEditor in the terminal. I picked it as I wanted to try a letter on a thumb key (#ErgoKeyboard), and it scored well on various metrics (and was the new hotness at the time).

In hindsight, if I had bought the 32-key #FishKeyboard and learnt the #OnishiLayout my #ErgonomicKeyboard journey would have been a bit different.

Instead I’m designing my own 32-key #MechanicalKeyboard(s), learnt #HandsDownPromethium, and am learning the #NaginataStyle Japanese kana #KeyboardLayout.

Maybe not that different?

💻 How do you decide between the 60% and 80% layouts? 🤔

🔹 60% Layout (UHK 60)
Compact and minimalist – perfect for small desks and portability.
Ideal for travelers or those with limited desk space.

🔹 80% Layout (UHK 80)
Expanded layout with additional dedicated keys for direct access.
Comfortable for extended typing sessions with fewer key combinations.

💡 Our keyboards come in both layouts – pick the one that fits you best.

I've decided to stop using the Workman keyboard layout. Not that it is inferior than QWERTY... the opposite actually. It's because I've noticed that it is a lot more uncomfortable on using keyboard shortcuts than in QWERTY.

Another reason is that I fear the day when I need to use other computers (especially the ones that are locked down by an IT departement) and I can't type in QWERTY anymore...

So yeah... I think I'm gonna stick to QWERTY.

Unsure if I've even mentioned this anywhere before,

but I've maintain a "Steam Curator" page for the last few years, keeping a log of how well games handle custom keyboard layouts - feel free to follow it if you want to see a note on Steam Store pages telling you whether a game's keybind settings are up-to-snuff:
