Jos's Layout

Custom layout with various options. Designed to be used with the Canadian Multilingual software layout.

Layout

This is the physical layout of my xd60, for reference. See the keymap file for actual software layout. Keyboard Layout (Physical appearence)

Features

Caps Lock is Escape and the Window key is a Function key that still acts like the Window key in conjuction with w, s, d, l, t, e, h, and SPACE.

There are a few #define lines at the beginning of the keymap file that enable the following options if not commented:

  • ISOLIKE_ALT_ENTER: RALT + ENT is the same as RALT+BSLS. For logical placement of { and } (the former being RALT+BSLS) with ANSI enter on a ISO-based layout.
  • TWO_SFT_CAPS: Both shifts together → Caps Lock.
  • APP_IS_RALT_RCTRL: Menu would be between RCTRL and RALT, so now RALT + RCTRLAPP.
  • HELD_ESC_IS_SHIFT: Holding ESCSHIFT. It always register shift when pressing ESC. Useful for VIM.
  • BSPC_BLOCKS_DEL: If BSPC is held, we disable DEL. To avoid acidental presses of DEL with split backspace key.
  • ALT_MINSEQL_IS_ALT_78: Pressing ALT+MINS/EQL will act like ALT+7/8. Will yield {} instead of ½¬ in Canadian Multilingual Layout. Diminished finger stretching.
