I got my Infinity Ergodox about a week and a half ago and put it together right away (with Matias Silent Click switches). After playing with it for a few days at home, I took it to work and got down to business. I'm still a bit slower with it than a standard keyboard, but I'm starting to get used to it.
I mapped esc to caps lock, which is probably better than the default position (I'm a vim user, so I need it to get into command mode).
The one thing that's bothering me is that the ortholinear keys mean that the [, ], \, and = keys aren't in the correct positions. I'm a programmer, so I find myself using [] and = a lot. | is occasionally useful.
Where do people map those keys? I want them to be accessible without moving my hands out of their normal positions, so the small keys on the thumb cluster are pretty much out (as are the big keys inside of the alpha keys). I suppose I could do the bottom row on the left. I could also put them on a different layer, but that seems like a bad idea.
Thoughts?
