Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
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

Didn't mean to mark it as 18... I'll see if I can fix it.
You're right: Layers are essential. I use three primary layers -- colemak dh, numpad, and nav -- along with several combos. Another key feature is what are called Callum-style mods, which are essentially "sticky", one-shot modifiers.
I've been using this layout for quite awhile now, so I'm pretty used to it. It took a month or so to switch from qwerty to colemak, but the switch to ortholinear (like this one) and column-staggered took under a week. Switching to home-row mods took a day, and switching from those to Callum took about a week.
