As a, result my fingers don't -tend to stay on the "home keys" and occasionally my right hand wants to type -keys that are on the left of the keyboard, and vice versa. - -Hence, despite liking the idea of split keyboards in principle, I've never been -able to get on with them because the split simply doesn't work with my style of -typing. The Ergodox solves this neatly by virtue of having a few extra keys in -the "middle" of the keyboard which I can utilise for deliberate redundancy. -Thus in this keymap there are two "6" keys (one on the left, one on the right) -and likewise Y, H, G, and B are all duplicated to enable one-handed patterns -that I use frequently (e.g. "byobu" with the right hand, "yes" with the left, -etc.). - -I occasionally use the numeric pad for data entry, thus this is duplicated -under the natural home position of the right hand in layer 1 (activated by -holding one of the right thumb buttons), while the cursor keys are duplicated -under the classic WASD gaming layout of the left hand in layer 2 (activated by -holding one of the left thumb buttons). Various other useful keys also appear -in these layers (brackets and symbols for coding in layer 1, navigation and -F-keys in layer 2, etc.). - -Finally, modifier keys like Ctrl, Shift, and Alt, along with Backspace and -Enter are all in traditional locations in an effort to reuse existing muscle -memory as much as possible (keys like =, #, and ' are in layer 1). The layout -maps are in the comments of keymap_dave.c so I won't bother duplicating them -here. - -Oh, and the LEDs are rather pimped ... because I could! - -Anyway, although I'm sure this keymap won't be to many people's taste you might -find some interesting ideas in here for your own layouts. Do tweet me -(@waveform80) if you have any questions / suggestions / bugs. - -Dave. |
