Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

What do you use the rotary encoders for? (self.ergomechkeyboards)

Since the reddit community is now private, I want to ask this question again here :) The encoders intrigue me but I just lack the imagination to figure out how to use them for anything else but volume control..

I have one set to tab on clockwise and shift+tab on anticlockwise, allowing to you hold alt, shift, ctrl or gui while turning it to determine the function. It's also great for code indentation.

As for the inwards click function, I set that to caps lock as it's not used frequently but nice to have when needed

Now that is quite interesting..
