Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Please link the control diagram so I can understand this next level minimalism.
Here's a visual representation :)
Are you a stenographer, perchance?
Not at all, stenography is much more involved. I really only do input by the letter (plus a combo for "sch" which is frequent enough in German that sc being a same-finger bigram in my layout would annoy me.)
A lot of combos, basically.
There is an example of config in the keyboard's repo. https://github.com/kilipan/teenspirit
