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?

I use an ergodox, which is about a 60% although there are dedicated cursor keys in non-standard positions. It's fine, every f-key is one extra keystroke away.

Using vim (actually Helix for me) also helps, home and end are accessible but they're really not something I press often.
