[Plover][] is an awesome open source stenography program, but to run the software [you need an NKRO keyboard][nkro]. The [ErgoDox keyboard][ergodox] can be made to run in NKRO mode by following these steps.

Install dependencies

These instructions are based on this document, which assumes you're using Windows. I'm using a mac, and I had to download and install the [CrossPack for AVR Development][crosspack] before the build process worked.

Download the source

The NKRO firmware and Plover keymap can be found in the simon_layout branch of @shayneholmes fork of tmk_keyboard. Get the source:

I have two user accounts set up on my mac. User drew I use for most things, but if I'm making a screencast I'll switch to the demo user. I know that the demo user has a clean desktop, and the font size is larger than usual in my terminal and text editors, making everything a bit more legible when capturing the screen. When I record a screencast as the demo user, I save the file to /Users/Shared/screencasts. As I understand it, the /Users/Shared directory is supposed to be accessible to all user accounts on the mac. If I created and saved a screenflow document as the demo user, I should be able to read and write that file when logged in as user drew.

That was the theory, but it didn't always work out that well in practice. I would occasionally find that a directory was only writable by one user or the other. Perhaps I'd open a screenflow document as user drew and attempt to export the video to the same directory, only to find that the directory was owned by demo, meaning that I couldn't cr

On OS X

On OS X Mavericks, Apple ships Vim version 7.3 with -clipboard. Here's the gist from running [/usr/bin/vim --version on Mavericks][10.9] (and [the same on Mountain Lion][10.8]). Shame on you Apple!

If you [use Homebrew][brew.sh], you can get Vim with +clipboard by running:

brew install vim

Here's a gist from running [/usr/local/bin/vim --version][brew].
