Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I think I'm on day three of thumb-key, and still haven't broken 20wpm yet. I am getting more familliar though.

No idea how a question mark wasn't important enough to make the main layout but * is.

Oh neat, I'm using MessagEase but an open-source alternative, especially one that isn't abandoned, is well appealing.

How are the configuration options? Here's my current main layout- would I be able to recreate it easily?

[–] Dave 2 points 1 year ago

There are lots of keyboard layouts available, including some MessageEase ones. However, I haven't found a way to customise it, and none of the English layouts seem to have letters with macrons.

They say they take pull requests with keyboard layouts. Maybe we should contribute an en-nz language version that has vowels with macrons in addition to a standard english layout.
