And then I moved colon and semicolon to layers and re-assigned that outer pinky key to my rarely used AltGr key.

Similar. It was throwing me off while programming though (especially with vim key bindings), so I’m currently trying quotes in the same position but under a different layer on my Moonlander. Most likely going to switch back to quotes to default layer, colon as secondary, and keep backtick in the third layer.

34 keys Colemak forces me to only keep 1 of those keys on default layer.

I currently have colon as unmodded tap, semicolon as shift tap (outer left thumb hold), double quotes as alt tap (outer right thumb hold), and single quotes as momentary layer tap, all on the same key. Makes using Vim very nice, but I'm still undecided on single quotes or colon as unmodded tap. Semicolon is the least used for me.

If I change back to single quotes, I might try tap dance + repeat key instead of using mods, but I'm still trying out colon as unmodded tap for now.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
