Lily58 Layout Feedback - Round 2
Hello everyone,
Last week I created a post to ask for some feedback about my first attempt at a coding-focused layout (MacOS, VS Code w/ VIM emulation, Swish for window management w/ CapsLock as my shortcut for triggering motions) for my Lily58. As I mentioned last time, this is my first foray at split-keyboards so this has been quite the journey.
This layout has been working decently well, thanks to all the feedback I received last time. It's wild how much personal preference plays into how people configure their keyboards, so I tried to incorporate ideas bit by bit that resonated with me.
Today, I'm coming back both for knowledge sharing, and to gather additional feedback. In particular, some sore spots I'm still running into are:
- There is some awkwardness when using my arrow keys after typing symbols. The context switch between both layers feels weird, although it has been getting better with time so it may just be a matter of building muscle memory.
- Caps Word for whatever reason feels VERY awkward to use, even though its a simple keypress. Thinking of maybe using Tap Dance to trigger instead?
And again, any feedback in general is very useful.
