day 1

Okay, so today is Day 1 of my newly modified keyboard layout. Day 1 as in Hour 1 of Day 1. Just started this.

And I like it better already.

Problem isn't Emacs Pinky; it's .. what?. PHP Pinky?

My right Pinky hurts from too many dang backspaces and stuff. So backspace was the first key to be disabled. Taking its place is the semicolon. So now Pinky doesn't have to move to backspace, which is pretty much its most common job.

Next up: Return. My return key is way over there, so I'm going to turn it off and have.... apostrophe take its place.

Oh wait apostrophe is already remapped to hyphen. Okay, I-ll

oops. I;

oops. I[

fack!

I'll leave Return as is.. oh maybe I can swap the current hyphen for return and return for apostrophe. Okay brb.

Okay now

  • semicolon is backspace (awesome)
  • apostrophe is enter
  • enter is hyphen
  • F7 is semicolon
  • F8 is apostrophe
  • F9 is left bracket
  • F10 is right bracket

hyphen is still hyphen, so that's a bit weird.

Hmm and Pinky still hurts even just hitting (the new) enter, so we are going to have to be a bit more drastic.

This is hard.

I'll think about it a bit.

That was fast. What I'd like to try is having left-shift-space as enter.

I wonder if that's possible with this software. (Karabiner-Elements)

Doesn't seem like it.

Made it home, taught an English lesson via Skype, which included typing a lot on Google Docs
