+1. I've standardized on 3 thumb keys per hand across all my keyboards.

SliceMK has an ErgoDox variant that is wireless and low-profile using choc v1 switches. Disclaimer: I've been daily-driving one of their ErgoDox Wireless Lite keyboards for about 9 months. But I like the ErgoDox physical layout -- been using one on a nearly daily basis for the past 9 years.

For me, it's about knowing the mnemonic for the various vim commands and what the keys do, not where they are placed on the Qwerty layout. I've been touch-typing Dvorak for over 20 years and think about what I am trying to do in vim/vi (or evil-mode) rather than where on the keyboard I need to hit a key.

ErgoDox wireless from SliceMK (https://www.slicemk.com/pages/ergodox-wireless) is my suggestion. My current daily driver is a ErgoDox Wireless Lite -- been using it for about 10 months now. The guy behind it (series of wireless ErgoDox variants) is very helpful with problems on his discord. He also has a webUI configurator that works reasonably well (which I don't use because I prefer to keep my configs in git).

A quick duck search pointed me at https://toolsweek.com/how-to-test-a-diode-with-a-multimeter/ . It's been a long time since I needed to test diodes, but the instructions seem to match what I've done before.

If you choose SPC < to bring up the window that shows all open buffers, you can choose it and hit SPC b k (buffer, kill) as [email protected] suggested. You can also choose SPC b d (buffer, delete) which is the same as SPC b k, or just hit SPC b and look at the options available to you.

Over 20 years ago, I had a keyboard that defined a "punctuation pad" that contained a lot of common symbols and combination of symbols on a different layer. I found it useful enough that I have brought that along to any keyboard since then that I could program to have something similar. It doesn't cover all symbols, because I touch-type the number row, so other than parenthesis they are not part of the "PunctPad". It's defined as "1 layer deep" on the right hand, and I have it on all my keyboards. You can find an example here: https://github.com/nomaded/qmk_firmware/blob/ngedv-unify/keyboards/ergodox_infinity/keymaps/ngedv/keymap.c

I've been mostly using TRUE LEMON, LIME, and ORANGE packets with the carbonated water. I have a 32oz insulated vacuum bottle that I use with 4 packets. It's way more flavorful, but it's easy to adjust the amount of flavor to water with the packets. I've also bought Mio flavors, but controlling the amount of flavor is a bit harder.

I shop there weekly. There's at least 10 of them within 5 miles of where I live, including the 3 in Salem, NH that's within 2 miles of each other on the same road.

And to be sorta on-topic, I like Polar's flavors the best, of the ones that are easily available in this area of the state. But when the pandemic hit, I started using a Sodastream Fizzi One Touch, which significantly cut down on the amount of seltzer 12-packs I'd buy. Even with the swapping of CO2 canisters with Sodasense, it's cheaper with the Sodastream.

They use those orange signs to indicate a sale or a special price. Also, the aisle sign matches what they use. And I recognize the labels on the house brand of seltzer that's to the far left of the Polar bottles.
