And now I’m (slowly) typing this in dvorak.

spoiler

The vi keys are better than qwerty’s home row. It’s been two days and I’ll die on this hill.

Is it terminal?

Edit: Guess I should mention it’s a Nuphy Air60 V2 given the com. I was a bit hasty.

      As far as the keyboard, I got a Nuphy Air60 V2 as my first. Maybe not super top, but it’s comfy and I’m loving it. Emacs is a rabbithole, unless you wanna get into that too lol

      Oh, and the switches are Nuphy’s special moss LPs. I think they’re supposed to be like slightly heavier browns?

        Did you reprogram reach key until you had dvorak layout, or is there a preset or something? I’m also not sure what youre doing with emacs or really what it even is 😬

          I used Via because there’s a qmk version of the firmware, and yeah, I just set one of the layers to the layout. The Nuphy has a switch for Win/Mac mode that toggles between layer 1 (with 2 and 3 for modifiers) and 4 (with 5 and 6 for modifiers), so I can switch easily between qwerty. I actually did that to finish this cause I’m still slow as hell lol.

          Emacs is “just” a text editor that’s an operating system in disguise, waaaay too configurable and macro’d out than any software should be. Or like all software should be, maybe.

          Also thought I’d mention keyd (if you use linux). It’s a system-wide remapper. I considered whether to use software or the firmware, just because keyd has such a neat spec with layers, oneshots, and key overloads. It’s great.
