| Also not autocorr but I've had tons of fun with my Ergodox EZ. The layout relies on using the thumbs to chord layers, right now there's 6 (I actually started running out of useful codes/actions to put into slots, need to get into macros next). the 30 keys in the home row and above/below plus thumbs see heavy usage. Thumbs do L3, space, L1, escape, L2, L4, control. L0: dvorak L1: programmer, left hand symbols (all 4 braces paired under middle and index), right hand arrow keys, nav, pgup/pgdn. Vimlike navigation at the keyboard level! L2: left hand function keys, right hand numpad L3: qwerty layout but with command so I get natural one-hand undo/cut/copy/paste L4: mouse keys. Not a big fan of mouse nav, but keyboard issuing scroll up/down is handy L1+L2: macros live here, I use this to eg. flip between iterm tabs. I desperately need more bucky/control bits though - It's hard to know which hotkeys are mapped across various applications. Give me a real Meta key, dangit! This lets me rarely move from home position and it's great for ergonomics. Still trying to figure out what to about the mouse, as that makes my hand cramp. I keep a magic trackpad between the ergodox halves for gestures which is neat. But the dang mouse. Maybe it's the way my brain works, but I'm rarely in a single context, flipping between Pycharm and chrome and terminal constantly. Controlling application focus is a pain point. I can't do the vim thing. I've tried for years. I'm a fast yet inaccurate typer, and the lack of any insight into the state (other than mode), and the heavy chording setup means spooky action constantly happens. I also hate having to hit a key for mode changes, chording is so much more efficient. I use bettertouchtool and alfred, and don't have a lot of customization in there, so if anyone has any tips for utilizing this sort of setup to reduce mouse reliance, I'm all ears. |
