Does anyone actually use a 60% or less for programming work? (lemmy.world)

I'm more interested if any of you actually do work on a 60% or below, I see a lot of 40s and a lot of lemmings are devs so do you guys use that for personal or work? No arrow keys? F keys? Home/end? Are you really holding shift+fn+d for end?

Yes, I use an HHKB (60%) and I love it. You can press fn+4 different keys to get the same result as arrow keys and it's actually better than traditional arrow keys in that your right hand doesn't have to move away from the home row. There's a also other lovely details such as [Caps lock] being replaced by [Ctrl] great if you work a lot with Emacs or Unix terminals in general. Oh and them Topre switches 😮‍💨
