- The right side keys should remain in ANSI layout
- Complies with POLA
- Returned them
- Put CapsLock above Backspace
- SpaceFn makes you want to use TMK’s awesome firmware
- Remind my self that POLA is still an important goal
- How are people carrying their keyboards?
- A good keyboard body negates needs for a case
- Dell keyboards are a perfect example
- How similar is this to an ANSI layout
- Background color legend
- Green: Identical
- Yellow: Moved
- Turquoise: New
- Red: Removed
- Only the number pad was removed
- Background color legend
- Thoughts
- Every Emacs user who has reconfigured their modifier keys on a Windows or Mac laptop will be OK with this
- Every user who has used an ANSI layout will be OK with this
- Users who value the number pad will not be OK with this
- The modifier clusters make sense
Would that the FSF market something like this.
It would be delightful if they did.
This is my favorite of the layouts I’ve seen on your site!
* 10-keyless layout with standard right-hand layout
* more thumb/modifier keys
* symmetrical modifier keys
This is one of my favorite layouts for the same reasons.
A couple of refinement ideas after visiting it again:
– Move ESC below Delete
– Add a Function key below END
– Make the F1-F12 keys live one row below on top of 1-2 and -, + accessed using Function
– Move caps lock below PgDn
– Move the PrtSc row down one
This violate the principle of least astonishment but it frees up a little space.
What do you think of those changes?
I like function keys not being on top of numbers since I use them a lot – often with modifiers. If I have to hit fn-1 for F1, then alt-ctrl-F1 gets really ugly.
Gotcha. Makes sense.
