How many words can you type using only characters on the home row of your keyboard using different layouts? Using /usr/share/dict/words on my machine:
% cd /usr/share/dict
% wc -l words
104334 words% grep -Pci "^[asdfghjkl;-]+$" words #Qwerty
188% grep -Pci "^[anisfdthor]+$" words #Maltron
1276% grep -Pci "^[aoeuidhtns-]+$" words #Dvorak
2059% grep -Pci "^[ashtgyneoi']+$" words #Workman
2415% grep -Pci "^[arstdhneio']+$" words #Colemak

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! 😅

You know what's funny? When one looks for a split contoured #ErgonomicKeyboard, it's the other way round: there are exactly TWO commercially available models - #KinesisAdvantage360 and #Glove80.Last month, I got the latter. Previously, I used a #KinesisAdvantage, one of TWO commercially available non-split countoured keyboards (the other being #Maltron).
