I am still waiting for my Ferris Sweep to arrive but in the meanwhile I have been keeping busy by drilling Colemak DH and learning QMK. I posted last week about some ideas I had for the layout I wanted to try, which I have since refined and managed to code up in QMK to the point that it compiles! This may sound a bit weird but I am deep learner - its how my brain works.
Anyway there is lots of documentation - which you might consider even more weird I don’t know - let me know what you think. All subject to change especially when the … firmware … hits the … metal … I guess?
Yes that extra thumb key is awfully tempting. It was touch and go whether I was going to start my ergo keyboard journey with two or three thumb keys. In the end I went with a hunch that I didn’t want to pull my thumb too far under my palm for that third key but having escape or a leader key right on my thumbs would be very powerful.
