Exactly, I tried this configuration on paper and then on a Cantor (42 keys, 6 columns) and this felt better for me and a friend than reaching down.

Thanks! That's truly heartwarming to read
Do not hesitate if you questions, the community is very friendly
The convex caps are awesome ; I felt uneasy with concave ones before, now my thumbs are lying on plastic cushions. They are not textured and allow your thumbs to glide on them.
It depends on the layer. I have volume, screen brightness, tab/shift tab (pair it with ctrl/cmd and this is very versatile), command left/right (browser history), ctrl left/right (macos virtual desktops), undo/redo, scroll up/down, page up/down. Since it can also act as a normal switch, I put play/pause on it when it controls the volume, and mouse click when it scrolls.
You could map them to mouse movement too quite easily!
Yes! Custom ones I ordered on FKCaps. I may have put them hastily, in the wrong orientation and place but since I can't read it (yet... another project!) it does not bother me haha
Apparently I collect keyboards (specifically split ones: you have 17-20 keys for each hands), I just love building them it feels like playing with Lego but you get a working tool after you're done! And you can program it however you like too, for "I need to find the perfect setup" people like me, this is the cherry on top.
I also have a few manga and a growing collection of Lord of the Rings related books, I just think this is really neat.
There is an issue for it, but it doesn't seem that it is being worked on at the moment
Depends on if you are willing to assemble the keyboard yourself or want something consumer ready I guess
That's up to everyone on here to participate in the development of the product!
Alas I don't think this will happen, people prefer when stuff is done without doing it themselves, because then you need to take responsibilities (myself included)
I asked my crystal ball and it said the next blue moon (I'm not a programmer I don't understand shit)
I don't think that has been implemented yet.
The Model M sure looks really cool! I've 'ever used one, but it feel very retro (and I like retro stuff too) and the community generally agrees that they have really good switches. What do you use your Model M for?
