The layout needs to fit your daily use. So if you program a lot in C/Python/PowerShell ... then you need easy access to special chars. If you just write a lot, then you could get away with a simpler setup.
I have a somwhat simple setup - I code a bit but not that much - my 3x5 3-thumb keymap
Nice and simple to use 👍
My bad - I was thinking about the community in the header, not links :-)
You can do that now - in compact mode a least
Go ahead let’s see your keeb :-)
You could use a corne and break off the outer column
What is the bottom one?
That's a nice looking keyboard!
How is you layout on a 34-key keyboard?
It depends on what you need. A split keyboard is probably what comes close to the MS ergo. Somethink like a Moonlander https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/ or the Iris https://keeb.io/products/iris-keyboard-split-ergonomic-keyboard
But take a look at https://jhelvy.shinyapps.io/splitkbcompare/ - there you can compare and print layout of different spli keyboards and test before you buy.
Good writeup on your layout - thank you
