    Impressive evolutionary history for your various keyboard and keyboard-focused tool preferences! Would like to know more.

    Curious to know if you have any thoughts about the Eucalyn layout. It's a layout focused on Japanese, Vim, and Dvorak: https://eucalyn.hatenadiary.jp/entry/about-eucalyn-layout

    Shameless plug, this is my Dvorak/Vim focused layout: https://github.com/1MachineElf/qmk_firmware/tree/_sb4dv/keyb...

  • Does anyone here use Dvorak?

    I've been using it since 2016 and I love it. I guess you could say I'm deep in the rabbit hole of Dvorak.

    I can switch between Dvorak and QWERTY in just seconds.

    I can spot when someone else is a Dvorak typist based on their typos: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29407601

    I have a custom Dvorak layout for any ortholinear keyboard with at least 36 keys: https://github.com/1MachineElf/qmk_firmware/tree/_sb4dv/keyb...

    Sometimes I go on odd rants about how common shortcuts can be easier to use in Dvorak in combination with a left-handed mouse: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26796214

    So how did you go about learning it? My pathway was GNU Typist: https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gtypist/gtypist.h...

    What made you want to learn it? For me, the Dymaxion map in this XKCD cartoon appealed to me because I liked XML and shoes with toes (like Vibrams): https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/977:_Map_Projecti...

  • A guide to home row mods

    With One Shot Mods (OSMs), I do something similar, but also much more basic with my Small Board 4 Dvorak (SB4DV) layout: https://github.com/1MachineElf/qmk_firmware/tree/_sb4dv/keyb...

    I don't go much beyond OSMs because the necessary precision required for a lot of the tapping features can become tedious, sometimes frustrating.

    - open source design

    I'm also a fan of two choices made with the layout. First, the split spacebars - it's better to give each thumb it's own job. Second, the minimization of modifier keys requiring stabilizers, because smooth consistent stabilizers are hard to get right.
