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

Not on an ergo but on a 60% with the shitty (for programming) french layout. I mapped all the useful and scattered symbols on caps-lock + a key next to it, so I can access them by an easy left hand chord instead of an awkward thumb-and-stretched-out-finger-to-the-other-side-of-the-keyboard chord.
CapsLock+A="[", CapsLock+Z="]", CapsLock+E="#"
Capslock+Q="{", CapsLock+S="}", CapsLock+D="|"
Capslock+W="(", CapsLock+X=")", CapsLock+C=""
