| This is roughly what I do too. I've found it pretty good. Minor differences: I use Dvorak as the base setup. I use the same system on Mac laptops, so the two inner thumb keys are both 'space' because when on the laptop rather than a split keyboard I use the spacebar to toggle into the num/symbol layer if held. Command keys on Mac laptop (either side of the spacebar) are set to backspace and enter if used individually. I didn't got full home row mods. I use two keys at once for ctrl (sd or kl on a qwerty layout), and two keys at once for shift (cv or m, on querty). A few other double key shortcuts e.g. xc as ":" for vim stuff, and cv in querty (jk in dvorak) as escape. I have a 36 key keyboard but I guess due to the double space it's a 35 key layout. Don't use the other button (option) for much, just arrow keys with vim hjkl so could possibly live without it as a 33 key layout. edit: also seems to be a dupe submission of this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32648245 |
