How to even do this? I can't wrap my head around what or how many to consider.
Use to work a lot with graphic tablet and belkin n52 (later nostromo) and wanted something that combine functional keyboard and left-handed pad. Got ErgodoxEZ few years ago... now I vaguely know that I want something smaller and more portable (maybe wireless and scroll wheel)... but layout? Absolutely no idea.
I did exactly this while planning my Manuform build, and again with 3d printed keycaps in various profiles to find the best profile for its odd dished shape. I’m glad I did it as I made quite a few tweaks to it before printing the final product.
Haha. I might have to move my command/alt/shift/ctrl keys down to the thumb clusters. I mostly like the miryoku layout with them on the home row, but sloppy rolls with A-T or S-T combinations (CMD-T) keep opening new tabs, and I’m getting grumpy. No violence yet. Maybe I can fix that by increasing the time before the hold activates.
And thanks to Suraj Kurapati’s own issues and config modifications (sunaku.github.io/home-row-mods.html) along with a lighter touch in my typing, typing is much cleaner now for me, with only very rare mods being inadvertently triggered. Very happy with how things are going. Now for a wireless version.
Nice work! It’s good to see a fellow Dvorak user. The Hillside keyboards have always looked interesting to me.
Have fun on your keymap journey! Don’t be afraid to experiment with different choices, especially for the thumb keys, mods, macros, combos, sticky keys, etc.
the middle one explains that equity unlike equality does not give everyoune the same resources, but distributes resources so every one has the same experience/chance.
I started my career as a plumber (exterior - digging up water mains), and currently I am a corporate IT security engineer.
While the plumbing part was absolutely harder physically, the work was overall more enjoyable and much less stressful. I was outside a lot of the time, I got to play with heavy equipment, and most of the time there wasn’t much urgency to the tasks. I never stared at the ceiling at 2 am worrying what tomorrow would bring.
In corporate IT security? There are days I don’t leave my desk for 6-8 hours straight. I feel a constant need to be connected, and I’m always planning, strategizing and worrying about the next project.
Everyone talks about the sitting at the desk thing, which is an issue, but corporate life is also much more mentally taxing. And that crap adds up over 10-20 years.
