# ZWFP Layout Notes
|
||
|
|
## About
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ZWFP is a layout largely based on Colemak Mod-DH.
|
||
|
|
The layout rotates the QZXVB keys for the following reasons:
|
||
|
|
* XCV are brought together.
|
||
|
|
* One design goal of colemak was to keep ZXCV close together as they are commonly uses control shortcuts.
|
||
|
|
* Mod-dh moved D to where the V key was as that position was too ergonomic for an infrequent letter like V.
|
||
|
|
* XCV benefit more from being together are Cut-Copy-Paste are more related than Undo (which Z commonly represents).
|
||
|
|
* B is returned to its QWERTY position.
|
||
|
|
* This was an unintentional benefit.
|
||
|
|
* The original rotation of QZXV moved Q to a better position than B despite being was less frequent.
|
||
|
|
* This is based off the grid on [the colemak mod-dh page](https://colemakmods.github.io/mod-dh/model.html).
|
||
|
|
* This needs more testing, and may be reverted as despite the above mentioned grid, the current Q position feels easier than the current B position.
|
||
|
|
* Based off [the layout analyser](https://colemakmods.github.io/mod-dh/analyze.html) its slightly better.
|
||
|
|
* I like being different.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Todo
|
||
|
|
* Work out punctuation locations.
|
||
|
|
* Figure out what the thumb cluster is doing.
|
||
|
|
* I've somewhat settled on left home-row (centre) thumb key is space and right is shift OSL.
|
||
|
|
* Maybe a deadkey instead of using shift-/alt- key overrides?
|
||
|
|
* [Repeat key](https://www.jonashietala.se/blog/2021/09/05/t-34-0/)
|
||
|
|
* Move Home, End, PgDn and PgUp to a kc/ko/dk with the arrow keys.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Keys still to add

||
