Feeling guilty about using my #ZSA#Voyager keyboard more than my #Moonlander on some days while I can't even type my account password on the macOS login screen with it.
Updated my #QMK#Moonlander#keyboard mapping: now the lower left/right corner keys (one of which was unused, the other of which I just moved into my util layer) send Ctrl + left or right arrow, which is (at least on my machine) #macOS Space-switching.
Previously, Ctrl plus arrow keys was moderately to severely annoying, but it’s something I do /constantly/ all day long (my windowed apps are spread across 2 desktops & I usually have at least one fullscreened app, eg iTerm, as well).
@radmen i didn’t think about it much til now, but Vim was basically designed for QWERTY. I too am a Vim user. i don’t see myself changing layouts. entirely. But Im needing to make some changes with my Moonlander keyboard due to its physical structure, and it cool layers feature
finally got to start practicing with my Moonlander. Designing your ideal layout is one thing. But as soon as you start training with real content, that’s when you find the holes in yiur design.
The columnar layout makes my muscle memory feel wrong.
Also, I feel somewhat limited by number of physical keys on the Moonlander. I can’t imagine how people get by with the Voyager.
Looks like I’m joining the #Moonlander#keyboard crew. A new one was just too expensive but I snagged this used one on eBay for $251. Stay tuned for future thoughts after I get it.
@ellane@dhrystone@emory I've had my #moonlander for almost 3 years, and love it. Never once had wrist problems (work from home, and switch between with and personal systems). I also keep them about shoulder width apart and no issues. Highly recommended!
I've gotten used to the clicky-ness and miss it - and the ortho layout - when I use my MBP built-in keyboard. I don't share my office space though (and rarely take it when I travel), so I can understand wanting a quieter option.
Gave the Sidebery #Firefox extension weeks, but it didn't gel for me; the friction is still too high (vs Chrome's tab-groups, which I still miss).
What I think I may land on permanently is to manually organize tabs across multiple FF windows, and use the Vimium mapping for “fuzzy-search open tabs, switching to the match” (which is ’T’ by default).
That feature of Vimium was already an instant “god yes why was I not using this constantly”, and since it works across windows…!!!
Relatedly, I also re-read my #QMK#Moonlander layout because I had a vague memory of assigning a key to something browser-related. Ah, yea! One of the non-alphanum 'halo' keys around the edges has been assigned to Cmd-tilde, i.e. macOS “cycle between current app's windows”.
Between that, the native keyboard mappings for Exposé (sorry, "Mission Control”), and aforementioned Vimium “fuzzy-search open tabs" feature…I think I'm good for now 😊
I've reached peak #MechanicalKeyboards and I now am the happy owner of a #Moonlander keyboard. Hours of customizing and fine-tuning keyboard layouts stand before me 🥲
#NYT 📆 April 25, 2023, 12:50 p.m. ET It is now about 10 minutes after the touchdown time. #Ispace has cut to pre-recorded videos on its livestream. It only takes 1.3 seconds for a radio signal to travel from the moon to Earth. During the descent, the commentator mentioned that the signal from the lander had cut out. That is not necessarily catastrophic, but with the minutes that have since passed, it may be a sign that something went wrong https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/04/25/science/ispace-moon-landing-japan
