Ah, nice, that’s a good idea with function keys! I needed an F5 today and I was like… eh, I’ll figure that out later. 😅 Turns out, they are currently mapped to my left hand home row, but yeah, that is less intuitive.

I definitely thought this at first, but you really do adjust after a bit. The trickiest part is remapping your brain to enter the braces and such instinctively. But after a bit, that feels pretty good, and I do feel the advantages of having a smaller layout for less hand movement to type those symbols. I also have a numpad under a layer, which is cool on a small board (also possible on a staggered board, but feels really weird with the stagger).

I’ve tried to move to a 40%, and that is hard for me, because I use the number row all the time for app shortcuts and just day to day typing, so it’s tougher to adjust to having that under a layer.

Woah, that is unexpected! Thanks for sharing.

Super cool aesthetic! Are the space bars layer keys when held down? Where do you assign arrow keys to?
