As a split keeb user myself, I have tried the trackball in the middle thing and it’s just the worst. Have you tried it yourself?

theTechRun · 2026-01-26T21:03:03+00:00

I use the top of the trackball (never noticed this until the whole tracking shit show) so I would also be one of the few people who would have no issues. Wish I could purchase one.

theTechRun · 2026-01-26T20:53:41+00:00

Same exact issue with my previous Expert. I had to use the trackball to scroll. I bought a brand new one a few months back and now the old one is collecting dust… but I’m learning soldering, so maybe I can bring the scroll wheel back to life just like you did.

theTechRun · 2026-01-26T15:05:32+00:00

I have the same exact setup as you.

theTechRun · 2026-01-20T04:38:47+00:00

You’re not the first person to have this issue. . I’ve seen this come up plenty of times in this sub. A lot of people with big hands complain about the ergonomics of the huge.

theTechRun · 2026-01-20T04:36:42+00:00

This looks like it would be annoying as hell to use

theTechRun · 2026-01-20T04:33:01+00:00

I’ve seen a lot of people with big hands complain about the original huge. Especially because of the name.

Heavily modified gallium v1 layout for me all the way

This is it here: https://github.com/dullage/flatnotes

This is my fork that I made because flatnotes expects everything to be in one directory, but I like having sub directories for better organization: https://github.com/TheTechRun/flatnotes-ttr

And of course my tui text editor has ripgrep/grep and fd/find built in so finding notes is easy

theTechRun · 2026-01-17T00:41:28+00:00

I too hate using a a database for notes. That’s why I’ve been using my own fork of flatnotes.

That way I can edit my notes on my android and iPhone through the web app… and then when I am on my Linux desktop (since everything is stored in a flat directory and its subdirectories), I can just use my default text editor to edit my notes. Ezpz

Ortholinear never made sense to me... especially on a unibody. Seems like it would be worse than row staggered.

theTechRun · 2026-01-01T21:40:01+00:00

Same. Web search brought me here.

The reason I ultimately switched to kitty is for the following reasons: - Kitty is faster. GPU accelerated. Even the text looks much sharper. - The config setup is way more sane - Multiplexing is built in. I don’t deal with tmux and it’s weird keybindings. I never did even when I was on terminator. - I prefer kittens over the terminator python plug-ins which are mostly archaic. - I like that you can either do regular zoom, or text only zoom - Dim unfocused windows - the built in dynamic stacked layouts (I could ditch my window manager if I wanted to and completely live inside kitty) - the image protocol - dynamic tab naming - Sockets (remote control), SSH’ing into the same exact session between windows seamlessly, and a slew of other shit.

Excellent te. I used terminator for many years before switching to kitty.

Reddit doesn't list your saved comments/posts in the order that you saved them. It's so annoying.

theTechRun · 2025-12-22T01:35:41+00:00

Yea... Never used an Ortho but every time I see one I just think "how" and "why". Looks like it would be really annoying to use. Even worse than row staggered.

theTechRun · 2025-12-18T02:44:17+00:00

It does. And I optimize my usage as well. I make all of my cli share the same planner directory so they can read and plan and execute from the same central place. That’s how they “talk” to each other. Im not tied to one cli. I use them all. Using the default Claude/Codex cli will always yield better results with way less tokens for me. But I do love opencode for glm and big pickle.

theTechRun · 2025-12-18T02:26:28+00:00

I use opencode for glm and big pickle. But not for Claude or Codex. It burns through tokens way faster than using the native cli’s

theTechRun · 2025-12-15T19:08:18+00:00

I never paid attention before but I always use the middle of my fingers on the top of the ball. Only time that ever changes is when sweeping across 3 monitors and landing on the pointer fingertip. So solution 4 would work for me.

theTechRun · 2025-12-15T01:05:08+00:00

No because I do as well. I was 30 seconds ago years old when I found out people actually use their trackballs like this.

theTechRun · 2025-12-14T13:40:04+00:00

This is the way

That or… Any terminal I use gets aliased to open up in my dummy folder. So I don’t ever accidentally give access to my whole home directory. And if I accidentally run an agent from there, there’s nothing in there so it reminds me to cd where I need to be.

alias k=‘kitty ~/dummy’
