Yeah the trick is to actually use the small layout everywhere, not just for consistency but to continue getting the benefits of reduced finger strain and hand motion.

I reproduced most of a small keyboard’s layout on my laptop using KMonad and now don’t even touch about 20 keys even though they’re available. It’s that realization that makes one dream of just omitting the unused hardware.
