While I'm particularly looking for chords (ex: if jkl; are all keydown at the same time then send the space keypress) I'd be happy to hear about your keymapping approach in general. E.g. how do you organize your layers, have you needed to custom compile anything, mapping choices you regret but are too hard to change now, etc.

I got my first ergomech board recently. I've got the background to flash the board manually and code everything in C. But before I go down that very deep rabbit hole, I wanted to see if what others had done/learned.

Personally I'm not planning to go full asetniop with cords. I think I just want a handful of chords to go along with layers.

I've been using Miryoku for almost a year now, and I love it. The home row mods became natural surprisingly quickly. I do still need to tweak a setting somewhere; I tend to leave accidental "j"s around when I get found fast and an going for a capital on the left hand.

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
