  1. 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
    188

    % grep -Pci "^[anisfdthor]+$" words
    1276

    % grep -Pci "^[aoeuidhtns-]+$" words
    2059

    % grep -Pci "^[ashtgyneoi']+$" words
    2415

    % grep -Pci "^[arstdhneio']+$" words
    5090

  2. 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).
