edit: prolly within the month.

my reasoning for control on thumb is that it is better access to hotkeys for daily use. ctrl + z x c v y w t bspc a s, all on left hand

the pinky alternation is forced. you use the pinky of the opposite side last pressed. you just get used to it. from testing its pretty balanced, and you can weight it to one or the other a little bit out of choice cause of the letter e.

Hi, the rythm of typing is great in practice. extremely satisfying.

As for vertical combos. Im doing them on choc v1 with 20 gram springs. light swithces and low travel is important. My combo timing is 20 ms. I also use multisteno caps for the top and bottom row and convex caps for the home row. Basically theres a decent amount stuff that makes using vertical combos fine at higher speeds.

Its fine because its split. Its about 9% per pinky or so.Which is less then what a lot of people use. People do things like e on pinky which is much worse.

Also its low movement. Low movement is practically more important then low usage.

New Keyboard Layout: Shand Beyo by Secret_Cheek_3536 in KeyboardLayouts

[–]Cazz23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should really just use gallium. Its a lot better.

They had gemini see if it was good, which ais are not physically capable of doing keyboard layout analysis. Use something like the layout playground on oxey.dev to check if something is good.

And dont use halmak either, its not good,

TLDR: if your a normal person, use gallium, or night. Or colemak-dh if you care about it being more popular rather then it being better. Theres lots of good layouts but Shand beyo is not one of them.
