Layout is basically just a reduced Sun Unix layout. I've started my career on one of those workstations in late 90s, and as an emacs user can't really use any other layout. Switched to HHKB in 2008 and I'm still typing on this very same keyboard (including this message 🙂)
3:55 I kinda get what you're saying here. This is a more loose version of touch typing as you're not strictly adhering to certain rules. However, I'm not sure if "passive" is the correct term to use here. It takes concious effort to shorten the distance of your keypresses. I mean, you still have to figure that on your own and that makes it not passive. I suggest learning touch typing instead, it skips the "figuring it out on your own" part and once it's ingrained to you, you'll passively know when you're not doing it correctly. It's quite similar when I tried to take piano lessons. If I didn't take it, I wouldn't have learned that I've been doing it the wrong way all this time.
also in reference to support the idea of your mouse less, for those of you with VIA/QMK firmware programmable mechanical keyboards, some keyboards support the option to map some keys to moving the cursor and mouse buttons, like left click, right click, fwd, back, scroll up/down/left/right. so thats an easy way to recreate a crude version of the thinkpad keyboard trackpoint functionality on your own keyboard (:
i've been trying to break bad habits with typing ever since my aunt made fun of me for hooking my left pinky finger around the keyboard base in high school. years of teaching myself how to do it... still some bad habits that I can't seem to shake (using the left shift key exclusively as an example)
Nice video, I recently thought about remapping the fn key to caps lock and changing my MacBook keyboard layout using an app called Karabiner Elements. The idea behind this is that I can remap the complete function row to the normal numbers and also any other keyboard shortcuts like the arrow keys as a second layer on the normal letter keys. The HHKB layout remaps control to caps lock, but as you are on Mac I don't really understand it... In Mac usage the control key is probably the least used key from my experience. What do you use control with?
I am using obsidian. I have a problem like i am making notes for school so i made a folder name Current electricity and then make file to make topic. But in the graph area it doesn't show the folder and the topic are scattered Like in your obsidian video you have a Big Dot for the chapter and Small Dot for topic. How did you do it. And also that hhkb keyboard cost Rs 91000
@@reysu oh, hey there! didnt expect you to actually respond, heres the "more" you asked for. so, throughout this entire video you just talked so much about how keyboard is faster than mouse, how you should use keybindings and learn touch typing, and you even use vim as well! so as a fellow vim user and keyboard warrior i couldnt help but recommend you checkout homerow mods(hrm). hrm, is a way to level up your keyboard game, the main idea revoves around this tap-hold behaviour. its essentially adding modifier keys onto homerow keys, hence the name "homerow mods", heres how it works: when you just tap a key like "f" it will output "f" just like usual, but whats different is that when you hold the key "f" it wont spam the "f" key, which is a default behaviour, instead its going to output you holding ctrl. i tried my best at explaining how this works, but for further detail please see this video th-cam.com/video/sLWQ4Gx88h4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GHZRe2SbHdI5IMPK. upon research you might also stumble across this aricle precondition.github.io/home-row-mods it does a great job at explaining, but i highly recommend using the setup approach shown in that video, it uses a more modern software. overall im really excited about you trying this out, i apologize if my explaination confused you, the video should clear the confusion. overall, the idea is that, with this you can finally just keep your fingers on the homerow without doing some complicated contraptions with your fingers to press a certain shortcut like ctrl+shift+t would not require you to move your entire hand, this makes you faster and removes many inconveniences. i have been using hrm for nearly 2 months now, i am a big fan.
I am a regular sized Asian girl, 5ft1 I look more sturdy than petite (i.e. I don't have a delicate frame) and when I use split keyboards, the two sides of my keyboard are at least 10cm apart. Switching back to candybar or the laptop keyboard makes me tense after a while. However I do love keyboard content and enjoyed this video you made about hhkb. Makes me consider having blank keycaps even though I love my keycap set.
Blank keycaps have significantly improved my typing posture and speed. Also looks aesthetic as hell lol
love it
Bros desk is just beside j.v scholz's desk :)
lol
You dropped many new and helpful videos in the last time, thanks!
thanks for watching

6:58 this is actually so cool! will try it

I've been a fan and user of both topre and the hhkb layout for a pretty long time. I really wish there were more aftermarket parts for it
Trying to decide whether or not to actually splurge or build a 60% keyboard with similar specs given the $240 price point ughshdhdjdid
I have one as well, for over 5 years and I love it to death
Never even knew this existed! I still have to look at my keyboard and I struggle without looking at it. Maybe I should give this a shot.
Just do speed tests where you force yourself not to look. Eventually you will adjust.

this inspired me to finally change my caps lock key to something useful lol, thank you!
nice!!
I got one (type s) from Yushakobo Akihabara, Japan last month and it has become my main keyboard since then. Really impressive.
nice!
how do you know which video title does better?
I'm curious about your thoughts on the Colemak layout.
never tried it but I think it might be confusing for me because I also use the japanese and chinese zhuyin keyboard 😅

i use control for ctrl tab and also a few other custom keyboard shortcuts through the app I mentioned
could you tell us how you did the keyboard taping? i'd love to do a similar thing on my macbook air!
I printed them with a sticker printer

as a gamer i never needed to learn how to type fast 😭 (though this keyboard is fire)
what games
Reysu, you HAVE TO try out homerow mods.
tell me more about it

what are your favorite fonts?
helvetica, times new roman, sf mono, apple garamond, idk
i don't understand why there is no control key on this keyboard
If it had it, i would totally get it
look into a Winkeyless layout. Thats essentially the same layout butjust with the control keys added back in.
ctrl key is where caps lock is
Yo I’ve signed up for the beta but haven’t gotten any thing
still working on it!!
@@reysu cool cool
The keyboard costs more than 900 bucks in India 😢
crazy
If you have a back as wide as a coat hanger, then yes, but for any man who does sport, the keyboard is a joke 😵💫
how large are you
