Ergodox Thoughts

After first week of almost full-time use.

Layout
  • Currently configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-e…
  • Need dash more accessible when typing command line options
  • Need underscore more accessible when typing code / filenames / etc.
  • Practice pipe with symbols layer
  • Still not happy with shift modifier arrow editing chords
  • Are dash and equals good enough in current index finger positions?
  • Get better / consistent at using auto shift
  • Is there a way to put Hyper and Meh on the regular keyboard to make more shortcuts available when not using Ergodox?
  • Do something with Alfred clipboard shortcut and up/down arrows to select in it. Note: learn to use the search feature more often.
Placement
  • Mouse between or outside halves?
  • Want a solution for tenting. Buy from Ergodox or build?
  • Return Ergodox wrist rests or keep? Had a neat idea for my own beanbag & wool design…
Switches
  • Wait for drop.com Everglide Jade Green order before I do anything else.
Keycaps
  • Want something more colorful for modifiers and the handful of marked caps that I’m using in the wrong position now. Not urgent.
