Ergo keyboard enthusiast.

Daily drives a couple of Dometyl generated dactyl keyboards (3x6+2+6 keys per side), using Optimot layout.

Direct message

I am currently using thumb shift on all my keyboards as it feels very natural: no need to move the whole hand (unlike classical shift) and no priority conflicts (unlike HRM shift: with HRM, if hold is preferred then you shift letters by mistake, if tap is preferred you end up typing erroneous extra chars instead of shifting).

Actually I combine enter and shift on the same key, giving priority to hold/shift. Since I don’t need to roll enter, there is no conflict.

Funny, it reminds me of one I built in 2022:

Not currently available, and the budget is not yet known, but it checks all your other criteria (except the travel case): https://x-bows.com/products/x-bows-split-keyboard

Otherwise, you can start with another existing option and adapt it to add what is missing. For instance, if the keyboard is built around a pro micro and you want to make it wireless, you can replace the pro micro with a nice nano and find a way to place a battery and power switch.

It’s a pretty new issue. It seems latest Jerboa requires lemmy 0.18 (which surprises me since this server version is just two days old… )

But actually I am posting this comment with Jerboa right now. So the app complains but still works anyway.

I learned about thunder in this thread today, but i have troubles figuring the UI even for basic things. For instance, how do you reply to a specific comment? (I can only see this icon in the lower right corner, but it does not look like it will do anything else than creating a first level comment!)

Got it. Replying is one of those swipe actions. Disturbingly unusual UI, although it could be quite usable in practice! (still missing other options such as editing or deleting posts… )

What is wrong with it? What are you looking for?
