# 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:
|
|
|
|
* The number row is optional, as are the outermost bottom row keys and the
|
|
"extra" keys on the innnermost columns below the controllers. This will enable
|
|
easy translation to a Crkbd or similar 40% ortho if I go that route.
|
|
|
|
* Space and Enter are on the big thumb keys so they're easy to press
|
|
(particularly with G20 or other low-profile keycaps there).
|
|
|
|
* There are two shift keys because really, Right Shift is important.
|
|
|
|
* Arrow keys are on VIM-style HJKL keys.
|
|
|
|
* Home/End and Page Up/Page Down are easy to reach and in a square kind of like
|
|
on the HHKB.
|
|
|
|
* Navigation should be usable with just the right hand, to enable left-handed
|
|
mousing at the same time. Additionally, Web page scrolling (Space, Shift+Space)
|
|
should be possible with just the left hand, for writing at the same time as
|
|
scrolling.
|
|
|
|
* Escape is easy to reach because Vim.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* Other than Right Shift (sorry), modifiers aren't rebound on layers.
