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

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.

Can you expand on your setup?

As far as the keyboard, I got a Nuphy Air60 V2 as my first. Maybe not super top, but it's comfy and I'm loving it. Emacs is a rabbithole, unless you wanna get into that too lol

Oh, and the switches are Nuphy's special moss LPs. I think they're supposed to be like slightly heavier browns?

Did you reprogram reach key until you had dvorak layout, or is there a preset or something? I'm also not sure what youre doing with emacs or really what it even is 😬

Also thought I'd mention keyd (if you use linux). It's a system-wide remapper. I considered whether to use software or the firmware, just because keyd has such a neat spec with layers, oneshots, and key overloads. It's great.
