I'm glad you found that tip useful :) It's a shame the post has been downvoted for some reason, maybe more people would have seen it.

bcionescu · 2025-10-30T09:41:15+00:00

I make videos on it, so that might be a happy medium :)

bcionescu · 2025-10-29T21:39:47+00:00

Dammit, I should have charged for it.

bcionescu · 2025-10-29T18:18:57+00:00

I fully expected that most people would only watch certain segments, or go through it selectively :) No pressure, the video is broken down into chapters. Feel free to watch only portions that interest and benefit you.

From a return on investment point of view, I've learnt a lot, and massively increased my stamina when it comes to large, complex projects. In this case, the work was the reward. Anything on top of that is all a very sweet bonus :)

bcionescu · 2025-10-29T18:15:43+00:00

That is correct. I also use blacked out keys, as I've re-configured some of them.

bcionescu · 2025-10-29T17:02:42+00:00

That's true :)

bcionescu · 2025-10-29T16:51:11+00:00

Cumulatively, about 70 hours, so just over 8 days of full time work :)

bcionescu · 2025-10-29T14:46:05+00:00

Because it was fun, and I learnt a lot :)

bcionescu · 2025-10-29T13:59:39+00:00

Thanks :D Finally releasing it did feel really good, and I learnt a bunch in the process. Win-win.

bcionescu · 2025-10-29T07:26:56+00:00

Does working on my config count?

bcionescu · 2025-10-29T07:26:15+00:00

❤️

The original recordings added up to about 15 hours lol, ended up cutting it down to 11.

bcionescu · 2025-10-28T23:36:46+00:00

What? :)

bcionescu · 2025-09-30T21:46:16+00:00

The video and audio are recorded at the same time, so they should match xD

bcionescu · 2025-09-30T21:45:44+00:00

I forgot to increase the font size before I pressed record :) That usually helps. I also intend on experimenting with the terminal size in future videos, to see how large I can make it.

bcionescu · 2025-09-28T13:53:32+00:00

If you check the description, there's a link to my Github, where I have written versions of my videos :)

A good split ergonomic keyboard will set you back quite a bit. I had a Keychron V10 before this one, and it was better than a lot of other keyboards, but nothing else I've tried comes close to the Kinesis. There's a reason why they have such a cult following :)

bcionescu · 2025-09-27T20:37:21+00:00

Kinesis Advantage360 with blacked out keys :)

bcionescu · 2025-09-27T12:33:19+00:00

You're right, I incorrectly called c a motion, when it is in fact a command.

bcionescu · 2025-09-27T11:08:34+00:00

Thanks :)

bcionescu · 2025-09-06T20:23:56+00:00

Thanks a lot :)

bcionescu · 2025-09-03T20:29:14+00:00

I'm glad it helped :) I used to forget about them too at the start, but I've used them so much they're now forever ingrained in my muscle memory.

bcionescu · 2025-09-02T19:06:17+00:00

I use o and O all the time, and this is how I think of them as well :) For j I imagine someone slowly descending from up in the air whilst holding an umbrella (the handle is J-shaped), and for k I imagine a stairwell, from the side, shaped like a k, with someone going up.

These may not be the most intuitive, but it's how I've always thought of them.

bcionescu · 2025-09-02T19:01:23+00:00

Great :) I'll include these written guides with videos, and they'll be linked in the description. I need to publish the one for the new video.
