I usually just prop a yellow legal pad up on a pile of these and write for four or five hours in the morning.

I was with Rob entirely until I realised that this was connected to the Internet.
I’m going to be the one to express concern early in the comments about the security/safety implications of running an out-of-date (and well out of security patching support) version of macOS.
This is especially so when one might already be a juicy target for direct attack…
…but also, when you’re describing this as a nice idea (and to be fair, it generally is), that will give others similar inspiration.

I have one such question. How do you type numbers?
Or was the Hindu-Arabic system just too distracting and you’re going old-school Roman style for numerals?

I have the same set of distraction issues. I won’t bore you with the details, but for me it came down to pen and paper. And it is agonizing that I have truly awful penmanship.

The space is the two blank keys at the bottom ( some install a wee actual space bar covering both ), and there are extra function keys that act like shift keys to access numbers.
It’s fine, but I can’t quite do two things at once: learn new chording and a new layout.

I’m planning on making a 30% keyboard useful for one thing only: writing Cormac McCarthy novels.

Seems needlessly extravagant. Do you really need a C and a K?

I thought you did a funky paint job on your keyboard?
The keycaps are interchangeable! These are Ice Caps, from Signature Plastics/PMK
