However, it is most efficient to have only 10 keys, one under each finger. And you can't map all the characters to 10 keys? Well, you're very wrong...

@@purplelord8531 Well, "makerspace" isn't really a thing where I'm at, especially at non-engineering schools in a 3rd world country. I have a little bit more income these days, let's see if it's enough for a keeb project budget. My roommate got a 3D printer and I can order cheap components/equipments, even from China, so I guess it's manageable.

My only question would how would I keep home row mod keys, since I like to use Vim and have other software configured to use "J" (using qwerty) to go down, move cursor, down, etc And sometimes I just keep the button pressed, is there a workaround for this instead of smashing the "J" to keep using the letter J? I'm pretty new to QMK.

F keys are not so rarely used (at least not in my workflow). Can't imagine having to press 2 modifiers just to get to an F key, especially if I also want to combine it with another modifier like Shift, Alt, or Ctrl, or even Alt+Shift for example. Navigation keys are also very frequently used and their layout needs to be intuitive (i.e. definitely not Vim-like). Otherwise nice vid, thx.

For the gamers out there, with the way these things work, you can just make your own 5x5, 5x6, 5x7 or whatever x whatever gamepad. Ortholinear or column stagger is what I recommend since WASD feels a little goofy due to the row stagger. Additionally, when searching for alt-layouts, you actually DON'T have to worry about shortcut keys being moved as much as you might think, you can simply make the layer when you press CTRL revert partially or fully back to QWERTY for the time that you hold CTRL, that way all the shortcut keys are in their correct place.

ok I like the idea of homerow mods, but does it actually works ? Don't you get unwanted modifiers , or shifted letters fo -> of , le -> el etc ? I was trying to get it to work using kanata in my laptop's keyboard, would I have to buy a mech keyboard to be able to use home row mods ?

Eh. While having a split ergo keyboard is nice, I feel like all those extremely minimal layouts sacrifice a lot of functionality for the bragging rights. Yeah, cool, you have everything on layers. So can I with my 58 key split ergo. But I don't *need* to have home row mods, excessive layers and all that jazz. If you were to say you did want that for 'ergo sake' - okay, I can implement the exact same layout you have, just with basically a ring of freely assignable keys all around. I feel like the form factor around 58 keys is the most comfy because you're not too big, not too small, and can reach everything nicely without having to go all out putting everything on layers all the time. Even with my 58 key, I always need a minute or two to adapt to a 'normal' keyboard again. I can't imagine how much more extreme this would be with a 34 key kb.

I totally get where you are coming from, and ironically, I feel the same way about keyboards that are less than 34 keys. The only I'd mention is that you got the process backwards. The idea was not to move to 34 keys because I wanted a smaller keyboard, it was actually the opposite. I don't need the keys so I got rid of them. I didn't start using homerow mods, because I didn't have enough keys to fit modifiers, I used them because they were more comfortable than having the physical keys themselves. Before switching to 34 keys, I had other keyboards, such as the kyria and nyquist. On the nyquist I originally had the mods where they normally were, and I didn't like that. On the Kyria I tried having mods on the thumb keys, and I also didn't like that. Now on al my programmable keyboards, regardless of the number of keys, I still use my 34 key layout. (I still use my nyquist for my work computer) also just on the point of layers, I actually think I'm pretty minimalist when it comes to layers, I only have 2 main layers, one for symbols and one for nav. Other than that I have a misc layer that has rarely used keys, but it's never been a problem for me.

QWERTY vs others really depends on the language you mostly type in, or if you type multiple languages, it's possible no particular layout is optimal.

Nice key map! One suggestion. An issue with home row shift key is what when you use shift while typing fast to capitalize the first letter you naturally roll from the shift to the letter in the exact same way you would roll from that same home row letter to that next letter. So there is no way your keyboard can tell if you are rolling between characters or shifting. If you want to type really fast in a situation where you are using capitals, it would improve your layout functionality even more to include in some way a dedicated shift key. All things considered, nice layout, thank you for sharing!

Why might someone be concerned with ergonomics *and* want a one-hand layout? A) Gaming socially B) If they often use a mouse while typing for other reasons (say, using design software) C) If they have a condition that impacts the use of one hand D) Any other reason somebody might want to have a hand free while typing - snacking, pets, the list goes on! That being said, a trackpoint on both hands of a split keyboard layout is looking really appealing 😂

The problem is not how efficient your symbol layer is. The problem is how you change your habit of typing ', ?, `, ", {, }, |, _, and etc. I have to say this is the most time consuming part of designing a new keymap.
