  • What you really need is a small keypad with a tab key [in a useful spot]. I don’t think anyone makes that, but it sounds like what you need. One nice thing about DIY - you can choose the layout and keys that make sense for your workflow.

    Remember there is no rule the says you only need one keyboard, or even that the keyboards have to be connected to the same window (I actually had it working once where I had two keyboards that went to different windows - but it was tricky to setup and not everything worked - in the end I didn’t find it useful but YMMV)


  • Are you looking to get into it because you want a good keyboard that feels good; or do you want to get into it because you like the idea of weird layouts, building your own keyboard, trying different switches, weird color schemes, custom key shapes, or all the other interesting but not typing things you can do. Nothing wrong with that second group, even though you can probably tell from my tone that I don’t see the point myself (if this is you I can’t give good advice so stop reading).
