this is a steno keyboard from nolltronics. there is a qwerty layer, but I only use it for games really.

most people do not have the interest in learning a lot of steno theory, but what I want to make/gauge normie perception on is one half of a steno keyboard and use this dictionary:

https://github.com/Abkwreu/plover-left-hand-modifiers/blob/main/README.md

this dictionary allows every shortcut (and almost every key) to be typed in two strokes and using only the left hand with a 10-key keyboard.

there is actually very little memorization needed. just some additional letters that are not shown mostly.

numbers are in binary, so you need to know how that works, but once you do, you can enter f-keys/numpad/numbar. you have arrow keys too.

for example (each pic/cluster is one press, you have a good bit of time to press): https://i.imgur.com/7UICbye.png

i don’t really care about keyboard shortcuts anymore because they are all almost the same difficulty to input.
