I just got myself a Corne 3x6 keyboard. This probably means that I will drop evil-mode and instead solve ergonomics through home row mods. I will also try out Colemak. But one step at a time.
I'm curious if any of my fellow Lemmies also use Emacs with Corne and if you would like to share your key maps? Or hard learned lessons?
I am running a crkbd, using colmak with home row mods.
You will want to use bilateral mode, it significant reduces rolling errors.
I have been meaning to add per-key delays, since my pinky finger is not as fast as my other fingers.
I also use a split keyboard. No fancy keymap in emacs, just stock bindings. I do use Bone layout, which is a neo like layout. Works really good for me, took some time to get into it though.
First days were really hard but i practiced typing every day. I also did not use 2 layouts at the same time, just switched fully to bone.
I recommend getting to know the keyboard first, then switch the layout. I switched to the split keyboard after 1 month of using bone and it definetly was a big challenge.
Never heard of bone, but I'll check it out!
I mean you do you, but the vim shortcuts are mostly normal keys without modifiers so depending on how easy your punctuation layers are it’s going to be no harder with the reduced key layout to stick with evil mode.

Tried Dvorak? I can't go back to qwerty
No, but I can imagine it's great when you get used to it. I do plan to try Colemak. Seems a little bit easier.
