Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

I really like it. What kind of chorded layout are you using? Is it asetniop ?
Yep, it's asetniop. It's got everything besides the "partials" feature since that's, a, really hard to understand how to implement; and, b, the dictionary for it would too large to fit on an atmega anyway.
Thanks for your answer :) And how did you configure the chordes? Did you add them all manually in layout file and compile it in ZMK/QMK to flash your controller? Or you just mapped ASETNIOP keys in your controller and you installed a sepparated software on your PC? In that case, which one?
It's custom code in QMK, Germ (of gboards) made the base engine and I worked on a lot of issues to get it into a usable state, and implemented features like the left/right chords based on the side the first key pressed of the chord is on, etc. Was a fun project. Originally written for the Ginny but ported to this (niop).
