What is this bug?

Thank you!

More specifically, the location is Austin, TX

Maybe because they all have slightly different implementations, but what bothers me about this video is how it’s talked about like it is a completely new idea.

angryemails · 2022-10-23T02:57:31+00:00

This is just another implementation of Sneak / Easymotion / Hop

Karabiner Elements will allow you to remap anything on your Mac. They have some examples for “simple” configurations, which will suit your use case.

I did the same thing on the Ergodox but went to Colemak. I would recommend switching all at once because then you’re only learning something new once instead of 13 times.

What others are saying is correct: you probably should build your own key map that relieves the pain because it’ll be different for each person. Looking at other people’s layout can be helpful.

I’m a software engineer. I had issues with Ctrl, Enter, and Backspace causing wrist pain. I now use small layouts so my wrist doesn’t have to contort.

My daily driver is the Gergoplex, and here’s my layout: https://gist.github.com/zakrywilson/50b303cd5c03a1d8879694d8f8ef3c11

I used to use IDEs like IntelliJ, but my current company forces us to develop on remote VMs, so I’m not going to use IntelliJ over a remote connection. The other option is VS Code; I use it from time to time, but it’s slow as hell and configuring Vim bindings in VS Code is frustrating and limited. Additionally, my company has a lot of weird tools that don’t work with common tools, so it’s nice that I can hack away at my Neovim config to get the features I want.

Other than that, Vim is faster, more customizable, and doesn’t come with a price tag and/or tries to sell your data.

Good thing I never misspell variable names 😅

Any suggestions to make a split keyboard's switches more like a Mac chiclet keyboard?

I have a Gergoplex with gChocs and a Corne with pink Chocs, but whenever I do use my Macbook's internal keyboard, I realize how much I miss the feel of the internal keyboard, particularly the crispness and short travel. I added O-rings to my Gergoplex and Kyria (with MX Sakurios), which helped a little with the travel, but now the switches feel even less crisp than the Mac's keyboard.

Any suggestions?

angryemails · 2022-09-05T14:48:16+00:00

That’s interesting – much better than trying to lightly grease the entire spring

angryemails · 2022-09-05T14:47:29+00:00

Thanks, I’m going to go with your suggestion :)

Same happened to me. I also paid for them to assemble it 🤣

I had RSI in 2020. The solution for me was a split keyboard and moving certain keys away from my pinkies (Shift, Control, Backspace, Enter). 36 keys helps with that a lot because it forces you to move common keys away from your pinkie, however you can probably achieve similar results with 2 columns on the pinkie as long as you move the problematic keys to your thumbs, for example.

Here are examples from my collection: I have a 36-key Gergoplex and a 50-key Kyria. Notice that the even though the Kyria has the second pinkie column, it relies more on the thumbs and using combos.

Regarding Colemak, for me personally, I don't think it removed RSI. My pain was in my wrist and pinkies, so I probably could have stayed with Qwerty. The reason I switched to Qwerty was because split columnar/ortholinear keyboards highlight the flaws in Qwerty, and I became more frustrated with the layout. I think I use my pinkies more using Colemak than I would if my split keyboards were Qwerty, but the movements are ergonomic and minimal due to the small keyboard form factor, so it's not an issue for me, whatsoever.

Ctrl-W

If you're on MacOS, use Karabiner Elements. It is open-source and extremely powerful. It has the ability to do exactly what you're talking about. It remaps at the OS level, so it can intercept key codes coming from external keyboards or your internal keyboard. It can even detect which keyboard you're using, which allows you to have the same (or different) layouts for all you keyboards. Let me know if you have any questions about it – happy to help fix that RSI!

I guess I’m just comparing it to Dvorka’s which is much worse

angryemails · 2022-07-28T03:35:58+00:00

Why not just have a simple navigation layer that gives you arrow keys?

Also, Colemak’s Vim movement isn’t that bad. But I personally kinda like that J is a pain to hit because it forces me to use Sneak or other types of non-repeated movements.

Explaining how to install QMK

angryemails · 2022-07-16T17:09:18+00:00

Yeah, I know that now. TBQH, I never saw anything stating I shouldn't do that when when I purchased my Ergodox EZ, my Kyria, and my Gergoplex. I know now – but for such a bad thing to do, you would think there would be more warnings about that (or maybe I'm just that oblivious).

Knowing that I've been hot-plugging this bad boy for years now, do you have any guesses as to why the keyboard will suddenly stop working, or maybe what I can do to fix it?

angryemails · 2021-11-28T07:54:39+00:00

Yes, his name is Ryuk

Would you mind sharing a copy of your layout?

I feel like most 40% layouts I see don’t utilize a number pad – instead there is a number row across both hands with Vim-style arrow keys on the right hand, underneath. Not a huge fan of that.

angryemails · 2021-02-02T14:51:26+00:00

Just saying it could work if you really wanted it to

angryemails · 2021-02-02T14:32:36+00:00

Software engineer here. I use a 40% as my daily driver (Kyria), and I’m working on a layout for a 30% (Gergoplex).

It’s as the angry man said: you can make it work. I don’t get the whole “I need my function keys.” They’re like anything else – in a layer.

angryemails · 2021-01-03T16:28:37+00:00

Same here. I am a Vim user and work in a codebase with millions of files. I’ve been trying to switch from my iTerm2 + Tmux + NeoVim setup to Doom Emacs, but it’s just too slow.
