let's design the programmer's numpad

LordShrek@lemmy.world to General Programming Discussion@lemmy.ml – 54 points –

i'm going to design and build a "programmer's numpad", because I'm sick of awkward hand movements for writing brackets with numbers and commas and spaces etc. here's the first draft. make your modifications here: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/ i'm thinking of adding another column, putting something between the numbers and the plus/minus.

I feel like it's too tall, the ergonomic are off. Any alternative versions?

Edit: to add onto this if there's space for a small shift key that would probably be a good addition

Pinkie on the shift, hit the square bracket with your thumb

Right shift is nearby if you prefer hand stretches over using both hands
