# bcat's Corne layout
|
||||
|
||||
This split ergo layout mirrors
|
||||
[my Lily58 layout](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/lily58/keymaps/bcat)
|
||||
with the number row removed and RGB controls added. See that layout's docs for
|
||||
more details on the principles that went into the layout.
|
||||
This is my favorite split ergo layout for typing, featuring the traditional
|
||||
four ortho/ergo layers (Default, Lower, Raise, Adjust). It is loosely inspired
|
||||
by the default Planck (numbers on Lower, symbols on Raise) and Crkbd (Space on
|
||||
left, Enter on right) layouts, but has since been redesigned heavily according
|
||||
to the principles described below:
|
||||
|
||||
* Since most of the modifiers are on the left half, keys frequently pressed
|
||||
together with mods (e.g., numbers, function keys, etc.) are on the Raise layer
|
||||
activated by the right thumb.
|
||||
|
||||
* Navigation can be done on the right half alone, to enable simultaneous
|
||||
left-handed mousing. Additionally, Web pages can be scrolled with Space or
|
||||
Shift+Space on the left half alone, to enable taking notes with the right hand
|
||||
at the same time.
|
||||
|
||||
* Other than Right Shift (which I seldom use), mods aren't rebound on layers.
|
||||
|
||||
* Likewise, Backspace is not rebound on layers to avoid having to let go of
|
||||
layer-switch keys to correct mistakes.

|
||||
|
||||
* The alpha keys are a standard QWERTY layout, no funny business there.
|
||||
|
||||
* Tab and Backspace are in familiar locations from my row-staggered boards
|
||||
(almost all of which use HHKB-style split backspace).
|
||||
|
||||
* Likewise, the Ctrl key is in the same place as on my row-staggered boards
|
||||
(where I've been remapping Caps Lock as Ctrl since before even using QMK).
|
||||
|
||||
* There are two Shift keys, because I do use Right Shift on occasion (even
|
||||
though I'm predominately a Left Shift-er).
|
||||
|
||||
* Lower and Raise layer-switch keys are below the left and right thumb,
|
||||
respectively, when resting my fingers on the home row.
|
||||
|
||||
* Space and Enter are on the big thumb keys so they're easy to press.
|
||||
|
||||
* Alt is on the left so I can navigate back (Alt+Raise+H) and forward
|
||||
(Alt+Raise+L) without having to uncomfortably hit two thumb keys on the same
|
||||
half. This puts Super on the right by the process of elimination.
|
||||
|
||||
* Escape shares a mod-tap key with Ctrl, which is convenient for Vim, but not
|
||||
something I'm totally in love with, as even after tweaking `TAPPING_TERM` I
|
||||
still get occasional spurious Esc taps. (I might move Esc up a key and put Tab
|
||||
on a layer, but that'd take some getting used to....)
|
||||
|
||||
## Lower layer
|
||||
|
||||
![Lower layer layout](https://i.imgur.com/rDlSmrA.png)
|
||||
|
||||
([KLE](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/c3fba5eaa2cd70fdfbdbc0f9e34d3bc0))
|
||||
|
||||
* This could also be called the "symbol layer".
|
||||
|
||||
* Shifted numbers are bound in their usual positions on the top row.
|
||||
|
||||
* Hyphen/Underscore and Equals/Plus are in the right index- and middle-finger
|
||||
columns for easy reach. They share the same relative position as on a
|
||||
row-staggered keyboard, and the shifted versions are physically above the
|
||||
unshifted versions as a mnemonic device.
|
||||
|
||||
* Brackets and braces are placed below the parens for easy recall. Once again,
|
||||
the shifted versions are on the home row and the unshifted versions are on the
|
||||
bottom row.
|
||||
|
||||
* Forward Slash/Pipe and Backtick/Tilde fill out the remaining positions on the
|
||||
right half, with the same relative positions as on a row-staggered HHKB layout.
|
||||
And yup, the shifted versions are above the unshifted versions.
|
||||
|
||||
* Caps Lock is bound in the same position as on an HHKB, for lack of an obvious
|
||||
better location.
|
||||
|
||||
* Some extra keys are placed on the bottom row of the left half, ensuring every
|
||||
key on a TKL has a binding.
|
||||
|
||||
* The left-half home row is reversed for future use. (It's free real estate.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Raise layer
|
||||
|
||||
![Raise layer layout](https://i.imgur.com/cVoKygg.png)
|
||||
|
||||
([KLE](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/08b44355d4ca85d294bad9e2821f91d7))
|
||||
|
||||
* This could also be called the "number layer".
|
||||
|
||||
* Unshifted numbers are bound in their usual positions on the top row.
|
||||
|
||||
* Arrow keys are on VIM-style HJKL keys.
|
||||
|
||||
* Home/End and Page Up/Page Down are in the same column as the arrow keys, but
|
||||
translated down one row. (This means that the comma and period keys are not
|
||||
bound on the number layer, which makes data entry a bit funky. I might add a
|
||||
dedicated numpad layer to compensate.)
|
||||
|
||||
* Function keys F1–F10 take up most of remaining space on the left half, with
|
||||
F11 and F12 spilling over to the right half. (This puts the most used function
|
||||
keys (F1–F5) on the home row.)
|
||||
|
||||
* Insert and Delete are on the rightmost column, because there didn't seem to
|
||||
be a better place to put them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adjust layer
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
([KLE](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/77e7572e077b36a23eb2086017e16fee))
|
||||
|
||||
* Media keys are centered around the ESDF cluster, just like I arrange them on
|
||||
row-staggered keyboards. (It's even more sensible with columnar stagger.)
|
||||
|
||||
* The navigation keys are replaced by RGB controls. Again, this mirrors the
|
||||
positioning I use on my row-staggered keyboards.
|
||||
|
||||
* Finally, reset keys live at the top-left corner of the right half where it's
|
||||
reasonably hard to press them by accident.

# bcat's Lily58 layout
|
||||
|
||||
This split ergo layout is standard QWERTY on the default layer, with symbols on
|
||||
the lower layer, numbers/navigation on the raise layer, and media keys centered
|
||||
around the ESDF cluster in the adjust (raise + lower) layer. A few general
|
||||
principles went into this layout:
|
||||
This split ergo layout follows my preferred [Crkbd
|
||||
layout](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/crkbd/keymaps/bcat)
|
||||
with the following changes:
|
||||
|
||||
* The number row is optional, as are the outermost bottom row keys and the
|
||||
"extra" keys on the innnermost columns below the controllers. This allows me to
|
||||
switch between this keyboard and a 40% like the
|
||||
[Crkbd](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/lily58/keymaps/bcat)
|
||||
without breaking muscle memory.
|
||||
* There's an optional number row at the top of the keyboard. I am quite used to
|
||||
using layers for numbers and symbols, so in practice this goes unused.
|
||||
|
||||
* Space and Enter are on the big thumb keys so they're easy to press.
|
||||
* The dedicated Hyphen/Underscore and Equals/Plus keys on the number row are
|
||||
placed in the same positions as on the ErgoDox EZ. (There's no real reason for
|
||||
this; I just had to do _something_ with those keys.)
|
||||
|
||||
* There are two shift keys because Right Shift is all that important, but just
|
||||
because I don't have any better ideas for what to put there.
|
||||
|
||||
* Arrow keys are on VIM-style HJKL keys.
|
||||
|
||||
* Home/End and Page Up/Page Down are equivalent to the arrow keys, but
|
||||
translated down one row.
|
||||
|
||||
* Navigation is usable with just the right hand, to enable left-handed mousing
|
||||
at the same time. Additionally, Web page scrolling (Space, Shift+Space) is
|
||||
possible with just the left hand, for writing at the same time as scrolling.
|
||||
|
||||
* Escape is easy to reach because Vim is life.
|
||||
|
||||
* Since most of the modifiers are on the left half, keys frequently pressed
|
||||
together with mods (e.g., numbers, function keys, etc.) are on the Raise layer
|
||||
activated by the right thumb.
|
||||
|
||||
* Every key on a TKL has a binding.
|
||||
|
||||
* Backspace is bound in the same place on every layer to avoid having to let go
|
||||
of layer-shift keys to fix a mistake.
|
||||
|
||||
* Likewise, the comma and period keys are not rebound on the raise layer to
|
||||
allow typing numbers with thousand separators and decimal points without
|
||||
releasing the layer key.
|
||||
|
||||
* Brackets and braces are on or near the home row for quick access when coding.
|
||||
They're positioned below the parens on the Raise layer for easy recall.
|
||||
|
||||
* For consistency, mods aren't rebound on layers (except for the Tab key).
|
||||
* The extra thumb keys are used for dedicated Ctrl/Menu keys (not super useful)
|
||||
and browser back/forward navigation keys (actually more useful than expected).

This is some code and config shared by all of [my](https://github.com/bcat)
|
||||
keyboards. I have a few different keymaps spread throughout the repo; however,
|
||||
they are all derived from two "canonical" keymaps for my preferred layouts:
|
||||
|
||||
* For typing, my canonical layout is my
|
||||
[Crkbd](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/crkbd/keymaps/bcat)
|
||||
(split ergo, columnar-staggered) layout.

[Tsangan](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/layouts/community/60_tsangan_hhkb/bcat)
|

(row-staggered) layout.
