Reply to comment by NoOne-NBA- in Thoughts on using an alice/arisu board as your main board by guitarhellboy

I design on an Arisu board and have no trouble with key combinations; what key do you have bound to cmd?

The one next to the space bar, with Option next to that, mimicking a Mac layout.

Can you hit Command+Option+P with your left hand only?
I can do that on all of my keyboards, which is why I don't like any board that splits the modifiers.

Gotcha, have you tried using left space as cmd? Everything under the left hand ends up being in roughly the same place as the MacBook keyboard, aside from Fn but it's not like that's used often on the MacBook. I do use mod-tap so I still get to use that key as space, although I see you mentioned you're not a fan of that

I haven't tried that, but also haven't needed to.

A while back, I dove down the portion of the rabbit hole where you finally acknowledge that nobody else is going to design your perfect keyboard, so you will have design it for yourself.

I'm so far down the custom ortho hole now, even stuff I used to love has lost a lot of its attraction, like the Apple AEK, and my Wind X.

Totally fair, just wanted to chime in and say there are always options to make a layout work
