i’m going to design and build a “programmer’s numpad”, because I’m sick of awkward hand movements for writing brackets with numbers and commas and spaces etc. here’s the first draft. make your modifications here: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/ i’m thinking of adding another column, putting something between the numbers and the plus/minus.

    I feel like it’s too tall, the ergonomic are off. Any alternative versions?

    Edit: to add onto this if there’s space for a small shift key that would probably be a good addition

        sort of rock your hand as you instantiate an array

        now that’s a good idea

        I think that makes sense, I mean we can really just replace the space bar with a shift key since it’s somewhat redundant to have keys which are easily accessible from the left side of the keyboard. Then all bracketing would be just one hand motion.

      Pinkie on the shift, hit the square bracket with your thumb

      Right shift is nearby if you prefer hand stretches over using both hands
