 are all easily reachable
without changing the position of my hands. I also chose to program all the
modifier keys to work both as normal when held down and in a similar fashion
to sticky keys when just tapped. For example, holding down shift and typing a
letter works as normal, but hitting shift followed by a letter accomplishes
the same result, meaning that capital letters and punctuation don't really
interrupt the flow of typing or require chording.

I also have rather resistive keyswitches (nominally 185g, ~170g in actuality)
which was of ergonomic benefit to me. I wouldn't expect it to help most
people, but it helped me learn to type without bottoming out the switches.
Starting out, the heavier springs caught me before reaching the bottom. Now I
type in a much gentler fashion, even if peak force is greater than on a
standard keyboard.

Moving down to 48 keys can seem intimidating, but I adjusted rather quickly.
It only took me about a couple weeks to become comfortable with the layout
changes (staggered keys to a grid layout and Workman instead of QWERTY). I
believe that part of the reason it was such an easy transition was because I
changed the layout whenever I had trouble adjusting to it. I had wanted to
place the underscore on the same key as F in a QWERTY layout to make typing
snake_case identifiers easier, but kept hitting the adjacent equals key
instead. I could have pushed through it, but I embraced what my brain clearly
felt was right whenever a similar thing happened and picked up the layout much
quicker than I expected.

Another common concern is losing competence with a normal keyboard or standard
layout, but at least in my case that hasn't been an issue. I can switch back
and forth between a 2013 Macbook QWERTY keyboard and my customized one with no
issues, and I often switch from QWERTY to Workman on my laptop depending on
how much I'm writing. Occasionally I'll switch layouts mid-sentence when I
realize I'll be going into more depth than I expected.
