[kwlug-disc] Interview with Erez Zukerman about ErgoDox EZ keyboard

[Doug Moen]

I recently saw the ErgoDox EZ name-checked in a post about an even weirder looking keyboard:
<https://sunaku.github.io/moergo-glove80-keyboard.html>

I've never used one of these weird looking ergonomic keyboards. (I'm typing this on a Thinkpad.)
When I looked at the ErgoDox EZ website <https://ergodox-ez.com/>, what jumped out at me was that 3 keys are missing on the keyboard:
 -_   +=  \|
That seems to be a deliberate design decision, you use a keymap that maps blank keys onto these characters. Designing your own keymap layers and relearning how to type seems to be a part of this keyboard hacker culture.
