What keys do you need that aren't on a 78-key layout?

I haven't used it, but from the photo, I don't see home, end, pageup, pagedown, and backspace. (or maybe delete, but at least one of the two.)

Personally, I use all those regularly.

Yeah, you have to use the function modifier for those. Function + up-arrow = page-up is easy to learn.

Chords can remain easily learnable down to about 65 keys, but on a smaller layout (~40 keys), you have to memorize multiple layers for dozens of keys.

This guy gets it.

I suppose if I bit the bullet and unlearned years of muscle memory I could do without those keys, but at this point it's not worth the effort. I'll stick to ThinkPads if I need to code on a laptop.
