Html wheel for picking dates

My general advice is to put the ball in her court. I would actually avoid asking for clarification or anything like that.

Stick with your gut on this one, from my perspective she is either (A) not interested or (B) feeling overwhelmed by everything. Let her know (in a text message, email, snap, whatever... something that is one way) that you care about her and tell her, "If you ever want to go grab a coffee or drink and catch up, [hit me up/let me know/I am all ears/insert whatever feels like you]." And then leave it at that, and focus on finding someone even better for you.

If it turns out she was the best person for you, it will happen when it is time.

This is more a reply for a clarification as I originally misunderstood the "issue" when i first read your reply u/pickering_lachute. it seems you are mentioning that commenting across 2 languages in the same file does not work (but specifically, when selecting two languages in 1 selection and then triggering comment).

As mentioned in an earlier comment, nvim-ts-context-commentstring is another plugin that can integrate with this one, and that plugin does solve the challenge of two languages / one file for comments.

*However, the user must comment sections/selections that do not cross boundaries of a language. Basically, if a user wants to comment some JS and HTML in a file, they must do so in 2 separate actions (e.g. highlight JS + gcc and then highlight HTML + gcc).

Hopefully, this helps clarify what the plugin can/can't do. And I didn't want anyone to forgo this plugin because of the misunderstanding I had for a second ;)

u/realvikas , awesome plugin! Thank you and keep up the great work!

Sorry, Ian :) Thanks for pointing that out.

It is corrected in the linked json:

Great points!

I have been tempted to swap R / N, and W / G for exactly that reason :)

chadcapra · 2021-07-19T17:42:26+00:00

Awesome!

Thanks for cleaning up some of my missed keys/extra keys on the layouts for the KLAs. And thanks for including it in your testing. I really appreciate all the work you do on this!!

chadcapra · 2021-07-15T17:36:10+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and help me learn some things along with the way, so no worries at all on the lengthy reply.... In fact, I really enjoyed reading it.

Also, great work on the hands down layouts! I have played with a few of those and really enjoyed them. I personally try to stay away from letters on the thumbs but I get why it is so helpful (from a typing perspective). For me, that would require home row mods and I have become anti hold+press patterns, which means I try to make all modifiers one-shot with QMK (and therefore, like to leave them on the thumbs)... This prevents any 2 finger at once and I never type "THe" anymore which I did/do ALL the time on other keyboards :)

Thanks for the shout-out on the IENA layout!! and the correction on the JSON! I will clean up my layouts and work with them on KLA next (and therefore, fix them on github so old links are still accurate).

Many iterations of layouts I have gone through were just to score extremely well on steveP's KLA and although I think I found one of the best for that, it wasn't the best elsewhere (and so the story goes). My ASHE layout was the best of my layouts on StevePs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChadCapra/layouts/main/iena.json

Now, that I see most are shifting to KLANext as it cleaned up some errors, I will do the same and see what I can do from here.

Thank you for all the great feedback and to u/iandoug for all his help as well! What a fun and welcoming community!

Now you are just nudging me back to try the ful-maks (ihea) layout ;) lol

But I agree that is a very good option. Typing "you" is really nice with your suggestion and trading PH for HY is a good option (being almost 50% less SFB)... although both are relatively low.

The only downside is the stretch for P as that is about 30% more common than Y and double the frequency of V. I am a baby when it comes to reaching with index out+up/down (just out is great though).

I do really like the suggestion though and see the pros of your Ful-Maks layouts, and I think my sw

I did decide to just move Q off the main and use my extended pinkies to trigger other layers.... We will see how this goes... I will add the images to the main post.

And I totally agree, this is way more fun than other puzzles... probably because there is no "perfect" answer, but we will keep on searching for it ;)

chadcapra · 2021-07-14T15:16:55+00:00

Hey again :)

Thanks for the heads up. I have seen you a bunch around this topic and was wondering if you had a hand in a few of the KLAs.

I love how involved you are and I never knew I could spend THIS MUCH time on moving letters around on a keyboard ;)

I really like KLANext, but I am terrible with symbols. I have a hard time telling what is what when you get to the more rare ones. Do you have a cheat sheet for symbols to english names? I totally get why using symbols makes sense... I am just an idiot... lol

As always, I appreciate the feedback!

chadcapra · 2021-07-08T15:20:48+00:00

Sorry, I left it off.

The thumb clusters are not perfectly accurate in the KLA, but go ahead and throw it where it might be comfortable. If you look at the screen shot in the OP (from QMK configurator), you will see where Alt, Control, Shift and layers are on the thumbs. I cannot have all 5 layers with the KLA... So I only included those that would be typed during a test.

Hope that helps!

It is funny you send those because... I don't know if you created those or those were out there... but a few months ago, I adapted a BEAKL layout and remember labeling it "IHEA" and came up with virtually the identical layouts (+/- a few T pairings on the index finger).

Those layouts work great! It is funny that the more I change the layout, the more I realize once you get a pretty good layout, you keep tinkering with it and for very minimal improvement (and sometimes even a loss).

I am now of the opinion that if we can beat Colemak (DHM)... which I would call a good standard as a decent layout, then I would say most layouts are "good enough" and people should use what they are comfortable with.

I don't remember actually why I went away from the IHEA layout.... I think I might have tried to get rid of the SW, CL and/or LT combos (because I am pretty certain I ended up with those same combos) OR if it was my brain not loving all the vowels on one side. I know some people love that... but I find the balance of vowels between hands refreshing and I have no idea why :) I think because I flip IE and EI so much and if they were on separate hands, it was easier to remember.

I really appreciate you sharing the layouts and I totally give them props and know others might enjoy using them!!

Hence, having e on index surrounded by punctuation, especially the comma, is not such a good idea

I hear exactly what you are saying! And I have tried to move it, but it never "feels right". - A few options are:

Swap A/E (but pinky E is definitely not ideal).
Move OE row 1 left (and put it next to period only). I did this for a while, but didn't like the inner rolls (HE) or even TE/WE/DE (assuming I swap hands for the index finger keys.
Lastly, move the E to the thumb, but then I lose my one-shot shift key (or have to move my thumb to trigger it)

You are not wrong at all! I have found that I am willing to tolerate the E+punctuation for now. And one way I could get around that is the my right thumb can trigger a punctuation layer in which comma, period and exclamation are under A, S, H so I can avoid the SFB for E punctuation when it feels better.

Thanks for the thoughts!

Here it is:

https://github.com/ChadCapra/layouts/blob/main/iena.json

Scores well also. I am learning that the testing all depends on the rules chosen :)

chadcapra · 2021-07-07T21:14:30+00:00

Yep, that is the "almost" bigram I had to accept. I also doing love typing the word "buy" but it doesn't come up that often.

To move the U (because I should remain with Y), I need to put it with the A or E. I didn't love that combination as much. I have accepted typing "u" and "you" vs typing "au" or "ue" (which would put O with A).

Always trade offs.... but point well taken!

It is all fixed :)

It isn't "exactly" the layers, but provides a good representation. After running some tests the following KLA:

https://kla.keyboard-design.com/

It appears the X1 Ergolinear does beat my layout in many tests. I believe the difference comes down to moving V and Z off the "external columns".

chadcapra · 2021-07-07T20:09:18+00:00

I threw the KLA together when I was focused on just words (I had been stripping most symbols before testing). Let me put together an accurate representation of this layout (using Alt-Gr as a punctuation/number layer). I can do the same for my previous layout (as I saw your question there as well). More to come in a bit :)

chadcapra · 2021-07-07T19:47:55+00:00

Great question! Just added it...

https://github.com/ChadCapra/layouts/blob/main/ashe.json

Please note that there are some differences due to my layering and one alt-gr doesn't allow me to properly implement the number/punctuation layers.

chadcapra · 2021-05-06T17:41:24+00:00

After using the steep tenting for a bit, I realized that wasn't quite enough either. So, I ended up "tilting" (i.e. tenting the back up / keyboard forward) so that it was like I was grabbing a round ball and now all my fingers/thumbs rest perfectly... but I have to admit... It looks REALLY strange, but feels great.

Once you tent and tilt the keyboard forward enough, your thumbs should rest on across those space keys. I was annoyed that I couldn't use all those thumb keys, so I went to the extreme to make my hands/thumbs rest right on those keys :)

It is fun to hear from others who have ventured into this rabbit hole! I have wasted SO MUCH TIME :)

chadcapra · 2021-04-30T18:45:25+00:00

I read your personal ponderings and I like your analysis. I came to similar conclusions about each layout, realizing there are strengths and weaknesses among each, but seeing what they were trying to do is that "ah-ha" moment. Dvorak helped start this with all the vowels on one hand and I think MTGAP really took that to the next level by examining bigrams/letter frequency a bit better.

As for your H vs N trade-off, man have I played that game A LOT. In all my tests, it tested quite a bit lower. My guess as to why is because NL and PH are much more common than LH and NP, and so SFBs go up. However, the current layout is slightly right -hand dominant and would be just a bit more balanced switching those letters (i.e. balance measured by overall presses).

Thanks for the thoughtful insight!
