Yes, I am aware of the layout but no matter how much I tried mod tap doesn't cut it for me. I make too many accidental mistakes. Also I tend to use a lot of prefix commands in neovim (similar to default tmux) and it feels more like trying to play the piano than actually typing. Having said that I do use 2 mod tap commands but neither are part of the alphabet characters. I might make a video about my layout at some point 🙂
which one is the most comfortable for you between kyria, waterfowl, and corne? and as a software engineer is it enough to use 42 keys or less? I'm a software engineer too, I want to try 42 keys or less, but I'm afraid that it won't be enough to meet my needs and might hinder my work.....
I know a lot of people that go lower than 42 keys without any issues. Personally I have tried many times but can't. 42 is my absolute minimum. The kyria and corne are equally comfortable. I love waterfowl but I struggle with it.
In reality it is there. You can still click the rotary encoder and get escape ...I thought it would be usable but the force of constantly clicking that is insane.
My absolute favorite is HHKB Type S. Something magical about it.
Did you look into miryoku layout? Any thoughts?

@@voidmachines please do!
Informative video! I was also wondering where you got that desk mat from, it looks really nice!
I get all my deskmats from protoypist. This one is from gmk Polybius
@@voidmachines Thanks so much!

@@voidmachinessweet, thank you so much!
Man not having the Esc key there is nuts... why would you do that?

I have my Esc key behind a layer, it is Thumb + Regular Esc position. but not having it there... damn man.@@voidmachines
@@mvargasmoran I have now removed the encoder completely and added a button there. What was I thinking. ❤️
