Is there anywhere I can learn more about NHA shapes? I currently use Apagard Renamel.

Thanks for the recommendation, it was a harrowing read. I'll have to re-visit this in 10-15 years when I'm no longer a young bachelor.

It's not the hating cars part that makes this article unsuitable to this commenter. It's the way they responded.

I find the Everdeck[0] to the the most elegant and interesting implementation of the super-deck concept. The sreator has explored and taken ideas from many other deck systems[1].

Ergonomic keyboards on software like ZMK or QMK actually change both iirc, so that's a no go for external keyboard users.

You can run WSL or nushell on Windows Terminal

This is not my experience, I use the search heavily and find it an invaluable tool to prevent asking repetitive questions.

I'm guessing free as in speech, not free as in beer. Obsidian is not open source [0]

> I don't think I would want to go back to non-split, non-ortholinear keyboards nowadays.
Same for me but even further, after using the Glove80[0] I don't want to go back to non-colstag, non-keywell keyboards.

I think if you are switching over for speed gains or just for fun, sure it may be inconvenient and not worth the effort. However, many people switch to ergonomic split keyboards because they have to due to RSI or tenosynovitis (as was my case) or at great risk of such.
For those people, I highly recommend you to go ahead and buy a Glove80, you will actually be able to type again without pain. It's a learning curve, but gaining back control of your own hands is so, so worth it. You also need to be patient, it took me about a month and a half before the pain was entirely gone. I also continue to do my daily hand, wrist and arm exercises which help greatly as well.

Once you have a corpus of your own personal text, I'd recommend to use the current best analyzer, oxeylyzer[0]. You can find more details on the Alternate Keyboard Layout discord.

Great write-up. Any one who wants to dive way way deeper into keyboard layout optimization should look into the subreddit[0] as well as the Alternate Keyboard Layout Discord. It is a shame that most of the collective knowledge is stuck on a proprietary platform like Discord but there is a wealth of information there. The current more highly recommended layouts for most people (because of statistics, ease of use, comfort, etc.) is a family of layout known as nrts haei named after the homerow for these layouts.
If you want to take a peek at them I recommend these two layouts and their accompanying motivations: Graphite[1] and Gallium [2]. I especially recommend Graphite if you want to optimize your punctuation for programming as well as your alpha keys, since most layouts don't consider moving around punctuation beyond the semicolon and the comma keys. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.
