The Matrixman Ergodox / Split-Planck Keyboard Layout ==================================================== ### The problem These layouts were designed to give my aching pinkeys a break ### The Design - Pinkeys do less: - Left q, a, z, `, _, =, [Shift], [F1] [Click], [Right Click] - Right p, ', /, |, -, +, [Shift], [F10], [F11], [F12] - Index fingers do more: - Left: r, f, v, t, g, b, &, $, !, /, (, {, <, [, [Ctrl], [Tab], [Alt], [PrintScr] - Right: u, j, m, y, h, n, 7, 4, 1, \, ), }, >, ], ;, [Ctrl], [Insert], [Alt], [Pause] - Thumbs do more: - Left: [Esc], :, [Shift], [Tab] - Right: [Space], ;, [Shift], [Backspace] - Palm Presses too: - Left: [Ctrl], " - Right: [Ctrl, [Enter] ### The Plan I keep an Ergodox at home and at work, and when I'm mobile, I carry a planck. These keymaps are designed to minimize the difficulty of switching between the two. ### Other features - 10-key at home row for right hand - "Matching" symbols use same finger on opposite hand: <> [] {} /\ () 1! 2@ 3# 4$ 5% 6^ 7& 8* -_ += - Supports vim-like (hjkl) movements: - mouse movement and scrolling - arrow keys and nav keys (home, end, pg up, pg down) - All non-modal keys mapped (all keys from a typical 105 key keyboard except caps, num, and scroll lock) The Planck Layout ----------------- For a picture, see here: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/eb0696806831fc0d93c9 ### Prose Layer qwert▓▓yuiop asdfg▓;hjkl' zxcvb▓▓nm,./ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓ ### Symbol Layer `~*&/<>\789| _^%$([])456- =#@!{▓▓}123+ "▓,?:▓▓;0▓.▓ ### Nav Layer FKEYF▓▓KEYFK mouse▓▓arowE scrol▓▓seekY ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ The Ergodox Layout ------------------ For a picture, see here: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/9be130e4c9b503317619 Wherever the Ergodox has keys that the Planck doesn't, whichever key would be expected on a typical 105 key is in that place ### Prose Layer ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓qwert▓ ▓yuiop\ ▓asdfg▓ ;hjkl;' ▓zxcvb nm,./▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓ ▓ ### Symbol Layer ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓`~*&/< >\789|\ ▓_^%$([ ])456-▓ ▓=#@!{ }123+▓ "▓▓▓▓▓▓ 0▓.▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓ ?:▓ ▓;. ### Nav Layer ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓FKEYF▓ ▓KEYFK▓ ▓mouse▓ arowE▓ ▓scrol seekY▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓
