Looking good!

I use Neovim, yes. I’ve actually rotated the trackball about 45° now, feels more natural for the right hand when I shift from the keyboard to it. Needs some adjustments but I think this will be better than with the regular mouse.

It’s really nice being able to scroll by twisting the trackball!

I like it a lot, but as you say it takes a lot of getting used to and practice. I don’t think my WPM is near what it is on a regular keyboard, but we’re talking a few weeks of use versus 30 years of muscle memory … I’m gradually switching over to the Glove. Funnily enough I write better on it when I’m not thinking about it at all.

Yes, or, I’ve had the mouse to the right, too. But I think it makes the most sense in the middle.

The Scylla looks pretty nice too!

2025 is the year of the Linux desktop ergomech keyboard

I actually cast Mage Hand when I need to use it while typing.

Got to spend your money on something, right? I figured it’s a tool I’m using for 8 hours a day to make a living, so it’s worth it to avoid more tendonitis/RSI.

No, this is actually my first split/ergo keyboard. I considered the Moonlander as well, but figured I’d go straight for the endgame, haha. The keywells really work great. My hands are on the larger side though, so I can reach all the keys with ease.

Yep! Having a great time with it.

As for music production on Linux, I use Reaper. Check it out and see if it meets your needs.

Thanks for the tip.

I am currently reading Cloud Native Go, among other things. Seems interesting.

Thanks! It’s about time I read Asimov for sure.

Yep, I’ve found some books on Libby and BookBites which is what my local library offers, but not everything I’m looking for.

The Internet Archive is great and deserves support!

Oh wow!

Thanks for the tip.

Ah, yes, HumbleBundle! I forgot about them. Thanks!

Thanks! I’m interested for sure. I can use this and then donate directly to the authors if that’s possible :)

Were you thinking of the Hardtime plugin?

Which-key is great, btw. I think I learn a new shortcut or something every day using it.

My guess is the cathedral that was started ca 1070. Other than that the oldest wooden buildings are from the 1700s.
