I run an ergodox split keyboard and a thumb trackball.

Half the Keys have no labels, unless it's the one with the clear caps, which has no labels at all.

Right shift is mapped to Escape (for vim, of course)

There is no Caps-lock, only Control.

Nobody messes with my stuff. :)



(Cool. I've moved on from ergodox to lily58 and have a cst trackball.)

This last weekend I pulled out my 12 year old Thinkpad running custom qtile window manager to transfer old DV movies to mp4s. Sadly my muscle memory was mostly gone and I had to revert to gnome... (Hanging my head in shame.)


I'm shining a laser pointer into a fiber cable to write this comment, come at me


I quantum entangled some atoms in my brain with some atoms in each of the starlink satellite's networking gear and use that to respond to comments. Don't tell elon.



Switch to a Dvorak layout (with blank keycaps!) and you will have all the bases covered.


My old team used to buy donuts on computers that were left unattended and logged in, as a game to get people to lock their screens. Dvorak alone saved me a couple of times!


Somehow vertical mice are also good for keeping people away.


Same, few more labels and a more stock mapping but I’ve seen people give up after seconds of attempting it.


That sounds lovely. I use a trackball and no one wants to ever use my system, either, heh.
