The [reasoning behind my choice of keyboard](https://snarky.ca/the-many-shapes-and-sizes-of-keyboards/).
# Layout
- I'm using [Colemak Mod-DH](https://colemakmods.github.io/mod-dh/) for alpha keys
- Motivation is ergonomics
- Choice based on perceived popularity (alt keyboard layouts are all so much better than QWERTY that the benefits between them is miniscule; [validated for myself](https://github.com/brettcannon/defy-layout-scorer))
## To try
- [Canary](https://github.com/Apsu/Canary)
