New 40-key version of the Fulcrum, for the discerning ergo-mech enjoyer
https://github.com/wolfwood/navcaps i have a variety of shapes here, i think banana is the most promising flavor of what your describing.
- Variable in Filename used in include<>
- 36 keys and Home Row Mods - do you mind the delay?
- Any tips for a beginner looking for a keyboard with trackpoint for index finger?

Need help using part from a Razer Orbweaver on a DM
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3958026 has an MX switch hole adapter for a common 5 way switch. I have been working on adapters and keycaps for several other switches, i need to push my latest work on the SKRH to github https://github.com/wolfwood/navcaps

Has anyone made a dactyl manuform but replaced the thumb cluster with something like a 5 way hat switch?
I''ve been working on a library for generating keycaps for nav/hat/5-way switches, also trackpoints. there are some usable keycap and stem models but it's very much a work in progress.

Svalboard Typing Demo :D
dude I really think you should consider a sideways-mounted 5-way switch for the thumbs like I did on the fulcrum. I think it would work really well on this form factor

I use a corne and love it, but how “ergonomic” is it, really?
You may be interested by the 40-key version of the Fulcrum

Got my first split kb a while ago, Lily58. Is it just me or are these last 2 thumb keys annoying to reach?
It's tough to use more than 2 or 3 regular thumb keys. Check out the Fulcrum for max ergo thumb functionality

Chonky Pocket PC - build with a Pi 4, chording keyboard, ampripper psu, 5 inch touchscreen. Details in comments.
I use 20 keys as my daily driver and it’s been a dream come true. My RSI disappeared and as a bonus I type faster than I did before on regular keyboard.

Show me some wireless splits with integrated mouse!
Fulcrum allows you to use one of the thumb joysticks as a mouse, though i wouldn't recommend it as a full mouse replacement

I made a mobile style flick-input Japanese keyboard for my numpad!
Although, I guess you could also go with your idea with using one hand for the vowel and one for the consonant and use just two 5way switches. There is actually a DIY keyboard with two 5way switches: https://github.com/dschil138/Fulcrum I think it would work well for kana input.

Any ergo keyboards with no pinky keys?
I think you would really like the fulcrum
-
Any exotic layouts based on keypresses not on text? Especially for programmers
I doubt this will be what you are looking for but I did the same thing with the keylogger and had the same realization, which heavily informed my keymap and hardware design on the Fulcrum. Full keymap is at the bottom of the readme page. Also if you go to my profile I have a pinned repo on key press stats that you may find interesting.

How to solve thumb fatigue?
Fulcrum would be either your dream keyboard or your nightmare keyboard. Not sure which

I humbly suggest the 40-key version of the Fulcrum, which will give your thumbs a multitude of ergonomic options
