I made a thing: a tool that allows programmable keyboards to send arbitrary Unicode characters. I created this mainly for myself, but I'm curious to know if there are other persons on this planet that could use it, so here it is:

https://crates.io/crates/infinikey

Because you didn't ask, here's my story. 😉

Ever since I bought a split ergonomic keyboard (2008, Kinesis Advantage 2), I have used an English keyboard layout at work despite being German and working in Germany. I think that for my field (software development), English layouts are just superior to the German one(s).

Still, I also need German umlaut characters for emails and chats in German. Back then I only used Windows at work, so using some Microsoft tool I created a custom keyboard layout. It mapped Ctrl-Alt-A to the letter ä, for example. The problem was that (some) software would still receive the Alt key and for example open its menu. So I built a script with AutoHotkey that handled these keypresses and that worked better. I installed the script on the work and home PCs, and when I got a new keyboard (2023, MoErgo Glove80) I started using it both at work and at home.

Fast forward to last year, when I started at a new company, and my department there does not use Windows but Linux - yay! However, that meant my AutoHotkey scripts no longer worked. 😢

I could probably have fiddled with xkb and things, but I really wanted _one_ solution that works on Linux and Windows. After several experiments (different approaches with XCompose/WinCompose and 'misusing' the Espanso text expander), a few months ago I finally decided I need to write my own software. And as of this week, it's not only good enough for daily use, but also published and installable by anyone! 🎉

Thanks for reading this far. Let me know if you're one of the maybe 10 to 100 persons in the world who have some use for this software. 🙂

Yay! First time in 15 months (since badly fracturing my wrist and the surgery to put everything back together!) that I've been able to type on my Kinesis Advantage 2 keyboard!

Just have to remind myself of the #Maltron layout, most of the muscle memory is there but I keep forgetting where some of the less used keys are! 😅

There’s a downside of using ergonomic keyboards with bowl shaped key wells.

And yes, the keyboard was plugged in.

Musings on Input Devices

https://blog.narf.ssji.net/2024/02/29/musings-on-input-devices/

My main input devices are an Ergodox with blank keycaps in a Dvorak layout, and an Evoluent Vertical Mouse. My mobile uses a 9-keys swipe-based keyboard (MessageEase until recently, now Thumb-Key with a compatible layout). People sometimes ask me about this, and then I talk to them for way longer than they signed up for. Perhaps a written summary would save some in the future (but do ask if you want a chat!).

@dhry
Yeah, people who have no health issues don't have to switch to full ergo, agreed.

My reason to switch was a slight pain when I put one of my hands in a certain position - not *during* typing, but the position was clearly *related* to typing.

Articles said that developers who had to quit because of #RSI could work again thanks to #KinesisAdvantage, so I thought that should be good for prevention. And I was right; my pain was gone after a few months & never returned.

@tynstar @esther this has been my experience as well. Though there was a brief period where switching from one keyboard style to another would slow me down, it was only for a few minutes. And after a few months even that went away. Now I can type equally well on flat orthos (#ergodox), curved orthos (#KinesisAdvantage), and typical staggered keyboards without difficulty.

@esther Hmm, I can offer an opposing data point: for the last 15 years, I've been typing on a columnar keyboard on my desk at work (#KinesisAdvantage 1 with QWERTY) and on row-staggered laptop keyboards (QWERTZ) in meetings, but on row-staggered keyboards (QWERTZ) at home. No trouble whatsoever switching back and forth between them!

Then, 8 months ago, I got a #Glove80 columnar #SplitKeyboard (QWERTY) that I use both in the office and at home. But I can still type on those laptops in meetings!
