Am I allowed to just post my work setup here? Is that even legal?

Thats what I mean by fingeracrobatics.

In some software I have to do CTRL+LeftALT+F10 followed by entering a number. Shifting between the layers for that or moving one of the typing hands to the numpad would really slow me down.

I have a similar keyboard to OP. I have a layer with a grid of f-keys on the left and a standard numberpad layout on the right.

Combos like that are fast, simple, and no contorting or excessive stretching required since every f-key is within one key distance of the home row (I regularly use L-Alt+L-Shift+f-key combos)

If I had to use software like that I would have a layer specifically for that application, but it would take some work and fine tuning. It would basically be a macro board for the entire keyboard at that point I’m guessing. It would take work, and might not be worth it just to use it for your work keyboard though.

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
