gezepi,

I use VScodium with some plugins. But writing in any editor and running the typst executable with the “watch” argument is also an option. That way as soon as you overwrite the source file a new PDF is generated. In that case I use Okular which auto refreshes when the open document changes.

Just started my ergo adventure, but I have questions...

I just got a ZSA Moonlander and I’ve been… on an adventure with it. Turns out my typing technique was total garbage so I’ve had to essentially start re-learning how to touch type. That, plus the ortho layout, plus the other ways my layout is now changed (special chars) has made the learning curve feel steep....

gezepi,
  1. It hasn’t affected my ability to use a normal keyboard. Using my laptop to type occasionally probably helps with this.
  2. Can’t help you, I stuck with QWERTY
  3. My favorite feature of my ergo keyboard is the fact that it is split, so I could see the appeal of a split but otherwise normal keyboard. But, I would recommend sticking with the Moonlander. It took me 2 weeks until I was comfortable typing after I switched. Not fast mind you, just comfortable. Then maybe another month until I didn’t have to look down for special keys. Definitely a time investment, but worth it in my opinion.
gezepi,

I’ve got a Keyboardio that has the main layer change key as one that you press with your palm. I’m glad it’s there, thumb keys are too precious to waste on that.

gezepi,

It took me about two weeks to get fully comfortable going from a normal keyboard to a Keyboardio. It was a long two weeks but I’m really glad I did it. And so are my fingers.

gezepi,

This isn’t a full answer to your question, but as for where secondhand keyboards are bought/sold, I bought one from eBay a while back.

gezepi,

I don’t understand the issues that prompted you to develop this, can you explain them a bit more? What hot-swap connector are you using this with?

Of course making a cool new board can simply be motivated be a desire to do so 😀.
