Not every one use Vim editor. There is no proof that using vim is faster than arrow key. I use vim for every IDE, vscode,... but if you using office, it very difficult if the keyboard not have arrow key. If every one want a compact keyboard, i think 65% is the best choice. And alice layout is the best option.
I love building software stuff. I take a special interest in infrastructure, DevOps, cloud-native technologies, backend systems, and how to automate them.
Only from a personal experience: I use my 60% both at home and in the office, and I use my macbook with arrow keys when on the road, and after 3 weeks of using both layouts - My brain just "knows" both of the methods and I don't even think about not having arrow keys. As I wrote in the post, I'd even say that it's easier to use arrow keys when they're where your right hand rests ("I J K L") since it's faster to get there. Anyhow, it's only my personal experience, and I'm sure not everyone feel this way.
I've been really interested in the alice layout and I want to try it out. Do you have any recommended prebuilt keebs with 65% and alice layout to recommend? 🤩
