So after my struggles getting this setup going I'm really enjoying this setup.
Thought I'd post here as there is quite a bit of intersectionality between the emacs, Arch, Steamdeck, Nix and Mechboards communities.
Spec as follows:
- Steamdeck (LCD);
- SteamOS 3.5 Preview (Arch based and compatible with Nix packages);
- Emacs 29 (via Nix package);
- DooM config + some tweaks of my own; and
- Corne Light v2 with random DSA caps.
Ambitions for this setup are:
- Better emacs-fu (thanks to everyone here with their help so far);
- RGB underglow on the keyboard for 90s vibes;
- Printed keycaps in jazzy colours;
- Better keymap (maybe Miryoku or something with homerow mods)
I don't understand keyboards this small. I need fn, number, arrow keys. home, end pg up/down etc are useful too in office software.
I'm sure that you have some special map that activates numbers, but that's a "no thank you" from me, a number key enjoyer..
It's to limit how far you have to reach. I find I can type long strings of numbers more accurately if they're on the home row behind a modifier.
