A corny Emacs?

I just got myself a Corne 3x6 keyboard. This probably means that I will drop evil-mode and instead solve ergonomics through home row mods. I will also try out Colemak. But one step at a time.

I'm curious if any of my fellow Lemmies also use Emacs with Corne and if you would like to share your key maps? Or hard learned lessons?

I am running a crkbd, using colmak with home row mods.

You will want to use bilateral mode, it significant reduces rolling errors.

I have been meaning to add per-key delays, since my pinky finger is not as fast as my other fingers.

I also use a split keyboard. No fancy keymap in emacs, just stock bindings. I do use Bone layout, which is a neo like layout. Works really good for me, took some time to get into it though.

First days were really hard but i practiced typing every day. I also did not use 2 layouts at the same time, just switched fully to bone.

I recommend getting to know the keyboard first, then switch the layout. I switched to the split keyboard after 1 month of using bone and it definetly was a big challenge.

Never heard of bone, but I'll check it out!
