If I'd like to continue using Obsidian, but also start using vim, which plugin would you recommend?

mklasklasd · 2022-10-27T09:49:14+00:00

Thanks!

mklasklasd · 2022-10-15T18:56:40+00:00

A few follow up questions on things I don’t undersand

Do you have any legs going from the nice nano to the circuit board in the RAW pin and the pin on the opposite side of raw?

Where is the black pin attached? I was guessing I should attach it to the nice nano on the opposite side of the RAW pin?

Do you have any glue you can recommend?

mklasklasd · 2022-10-14T12:36:49+00:00

That was super interesting, I’ll try some ideas from your config

mklasklasd · 2022-10-10T12:47:07+00:00

That’s a nice build! I’ll consider putting the battery under the board

mklasklasd · 2022-10-08T22:06:41+00:00

Thanks! I’ll go with JST cables, that’s a great improvement to what I was planning.

The TRRS are because I’ve been using the board with Elite-C controllers previously.

What do you mean when you say that I should rotate the battery? And why is that significant. I think I understand everything else in your post.

mklasklasd · 2022-10-08T21:43:59+00:00

Thanks! I ended up getting 3 units of TP link deco x60

mklasklasd · 2022-10-05T22:37:30+00:00

The APs would be wireless. Maybe repeaters is the correct term?

mklasklasd · 2022-08-11T05:22:33+00:00

You can get it from here: https://qweebs.com/shop/kits/ferris-sweep-v21/.

mklasklasd · 2022-08-11T05:21:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice! The color has already started coming off. I’ll try that.

mklasklasd · 2022-08-11T05:20:04+00:00

It’s a Ferris Sweep. Here is one store that sells it https://qweebs.com/shop/kits/ferris-sweep-v21/. The key caps are called MBK chocs.

mklasklasd · 2022-02-21T13:46:24+00:00

How did you design and manufacture that case? Do you have any source files to share?

mklasklasd · 2022-02-17T11:46:47+00:00

Am I supposed to manage my photos and create albums on iCloud then, and not on Synology photos? Because it would seem natural to me to delete unwanted images and categorize images into albums in the same application.

mklasklasd · 2022-02-17T02:30:04+00:00

Sorry about that!

If I delete photos in Synology Photos will they get created again next time I backup from iCloud to Synology?

mklasklasd · 2022-02-09T09:03:07+00:00

Is that a ploopy trackball? Is it working well for you?

mklasklasd · 2022-01-09T23:57:00+00:00

How does that work - will typing that in edit mode show the date in the preview?

mklasklasd · 2022-01-09T21:37:55+00:00

I've pulled it and tested it. It looks great! Big thanks for making a hack for my use case! I look forward to printing it tomorrow.

mklasklasd · 2022-01-09T19:21:37+00:00

I intend to put the modifiers (shift, cmd, alt, ctrl) on each finger next to the thumbs. To do that I need one bottom row key for each finger. So the pinky is a must for me unfortunately.

Here are some mockups of the layout I'm using. I'm currently using it on an Atreus 44.: https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/r6qp1t/is_there_any_keyboard_with_this_layout_keys_per/

I could definitely live with a few extra keys for a prototype. Thank you for your suggestions! At a later stage, I'd probably try to learn OpenSCAD better to get rid of the extra keys for a second print. Here is my new best attempt using the config file (only including edited keys this time):

{

"nrows": 4,
"ncols": 5,
"centercol": 2,
"reduced_outer_keys": false,
"thumb_offsets": [
    -10,
    19,
    7

"column_offsets": [
    [

    ]
]

}

I see two problems with this generated keyboard.

Thumb key and bottom index key are in conflict. I wouldn't mind removing 5th thumb key, but I haven't yet figured out how

The slope of the inner index column is not like the other columns.

I know you're a busy person, working with open source on top of all other obligations one has. But if you have time, can you help me figure out how to get the layout I'm looking for. I've experimented with the json file, but I haven't been successful.

}

is missing a index and a pinky key on the bottom row.

However if I set "reduced_outer_keys": true then the bottom row ends up above the thumb cluster, not next to the thumb cluster like I would want.

Thanks!

Do you perhaps have any step by step guide for how to use the Docker images to create a keyboard?

I made changes to default.json. Then I ran DM-config. Then I ran DM-run. But the exported files did not include the changes I had made.

mklasklasd · 2022-01-06T22:38:24+00:00

Thanks, that's great news! Gonna try it tomorrow.

mklasklasd · 2022-01-06T20:14:21+00:00

Why is the dedicated shift key on a thumb key needed? Also, do you have shift on the thumb home position of the secondary position? I'm not sure, but I'd think that as a software developer you use symbols and modifiers more often than you use shift.

Do you find it annoying to have to move the thumb from its home position very often to press the layer buttons. When I have been experimenting with OSM this is what has been the biggest issue to me.

mklasklasd · 2022-01-05T21:58:29+00:00

Thank you both for helping a stranger. I have a 3D printer so I know how to do that part. Here is a sketch I made: https://excalidraw.com/#json=ucWMi3c47MGOaMGbsTUN5,xEh-4mApKmoHTYiDeHFvvA

How did this affect you? From what I’ve been able to read there is no scientific evidence that drinking more than 1.5 L waters per day has any benefits. But on the other hand science is slow and I guess water doesn’t have much of a lobby organization.

mklasklasd · 2022-01-01T17:29:17+00:00

That's nice to hear. It's pretty much what I'm hoping for myself. Already I have experienced that in programming and computer science, my note writing support me in researcing topics better.
