I really don't get it: have you to do something like Shift+Letter to write a number?

Yes, planck has 3 default layers:
1) regular qwerty
2) lower layer with fn and symbols
3) upper layer with numbers and other symbols

You can also add your own layers

Yep! It's more configurable, but here are my lower, raise, and adjust layers in the config tool (there is a green outline around the pressed keys)

Ooh, thanks! I'm looking into getting a cool keycap myself, but I was toying with the idea of making my own resin keys in the style of dwarf factory. I would love space themed one with a nebula and the starship enterprise or something fun!

Artisan keycaps are nice but beware, once you visit r/mechanicalkeyboards, r/mechmarket and/or r/keycaps there's no turning back!
