And now I’m (slowly) typing this in dvorak.

spoiler

The vi keys are better than qwerty’s home row. It’s been two days and I’ll die on this hill.

Is it terminal?

Edit: Guess I should mention it’s a Nuphy Air60 V2 given the com. I was a bit hasty.

    I’m actually considering switching to something newer instead like Colemak-DH

    Cool, man, let’s do it together! I already switched my key caps around on my mechanical keyboard, and replaced QWERTY with regular Colemak on GBoard on my phone. (Sadly the -DH variant wasn’t available there). All in, baby, let’s go!

    Peripherals really make a difference.

    Definitely. I remember the first time I got a high frame rate display, was in complete awe. All that motion!

    depending on the jump in specs.

    Indeed, this should be a fairly good jump, I think. I built my current machine in 2020. Now:

    • 3900X -> 9900X3D
    • RTX 2080 Super -> RT 9070 XT (it’s no 7900 XT but it’s a big upgrade for the buck)

    Along with all the other modern upgrades you can think of. So I should be ecstatic lol. But my mind just keeps drifting off to the Voyager 💀

      I don’t know if I’ll ever move from qwerty on mobile. Swipe to text seems like a different beast, but I’m curious how it is. I was thinking it might be the one thing qwerty is good for!

      I made a couple quick hops Canary -> Gallium v2 -> Graphite.

      All I really know I like is alternation (thank you dvorak) and outward rolls oddly enough. Also typing ls ~/ was awful in dvorak, so less right pinky. SFBs can be deceptively packed too, even trigrams. Other than that, the j/k positions didn’t sit right with me in layouts like Colemak, which is what Gallium showed me. I’ve probably jammed my right index more than my other fingers now that I think about it…

      I definitely didn’t like the stretch for j on modded Gallium. After that, Graphite actually surprised me with the pinky for j. Using the wide mod, it’s 100% an illusion, but the key seems easier to hit with fewer keys to the right of my hand. It’s exactly the same angle and distance lmao.

      Layouts really make no sense until the smallest things click and you realize that’s what those stats mean. Why is it kind of like baseball?

      RTX 2080 Super -> RT 9070 XT

      I bought my 2070 laptop in 2020 too. I have yet to build a nice machine, but AMD might be the move if that ever happens. Their model numbering never made any sense to me though lol

      Also, I want a Voyager now… I think split, columnar, and thumb keys are my next steps. Almost wanted to go ortho for a second. I quickly stumbled upon a bluetooth corne, too. It’s all so $400-too-much right after my first mech. It was a relatively cheap one but still!
