1 | # Dr NotSoKind's layout | ||

5 | I love some features from the default layout, although there are things that definitively I can't get used to. The *circuit* layout gave me some good ideas, so I combined both, plus some own ideas to fit better my needs. BTW, I don't use Dvorak or other layouts than QWERTY and I'm too old and grumpy for learning something new (I'm lying a bit here, I learn new stuff every day), so I removed the ther typing layouts | ||
6 | |||
7 | ## Things I love about the default layout | ||
8 | 1. I love the consistency between the raise and lower layers, like one is the shifted version of the other. | ||
9 | 2. I like the F keys distributed in two rows, from F1 to F6 and F7 to F12, which makes them easier to find and access. | ||
10 | |||
11 | ## Things I don't like from the default layout | ||
12 | 1. Arrow keys distributed VIM like. I use VIM frequently, but there I navigate using HJKL. Moving to the arrows intituively I tend to expect three arrows on the bottom (left, down, right) and one up in the middle (up). | ||
13 | 2. Tab and Esc. I switched them. | ||
14 | 3. Alt and Super. Switched them too. | ||
15 | |||
16 | ## Needs, changes and goals | ||
17 | 1. Arrow keys and distributed "traditionally". | ||
18 | 2. Media keys easily accessible. | ||
19 | 3. A button for Sleep/Power. | ||
20 | 4. As close as possible to a US QWERTY layout. | ||
21 | 5. A Numpad, for when I want to feel like an accountant. | ||
22 | 6. Be able to record Dynamic Macros. | ||
23 | |||
24 | Layers: | ||
25 | |||
26 | ### Main Layout / QWERTY | ||
27 | |||
28 | Has four modes: The default, Lower, Raise and Media. | ||

33 | |||
34 | Media gives access to most media keys, and some keyboard actions such as Print Screen, Insert, Calculator or Power/Sleep/Wake. Also in the Media layer, you can record two different macros and reproduce them. | ||
35 | |||
36 | Record the Macro with `Media` + `;` (or `Media` + `'` for the Macro 2), you will hear a beep (if the audio is enabled). Do your stuff, finish recording with `Media` + `Enter`. For reproducing the Macro, press `Media` + `,` (or `Media` + `.` for the second Macro). | ||
37 | |||
38 | Additionally, Lower + Raise gives access to the layer switching, plus keyboard modes (such as music mode), reset, SysReq and Lock Mode, which disables the double shift tap for CapsLock (taken from the *circuit* layout). Also provides another distribution for the F keys. | ||
39 | |||
40 | ### Lower + Raise (adjust) | ||
41 | |||

45 | |||
46 | ### Numpad | ||
47 | |||
48 | Pressing Esc exits the numpad layer (also you can go to the QWERTY layer through the adjust layer) | ||

55 | Notes taken from the circuit layout: | ||
56 | |||
57 | ### Special keys: | ||
58 | * `RSHFT` and `ENTER` are combined. Tap once for `ENTER` and hold for `RSHFT`. `ENTER` will be registered on release if released within 200 ms, else `RSHFT` is registered starting at 201 ms until release. | ||
59 | * If for some reason, this interferes with the normal usage of the `ENTER` key in any way, (some problem that may never happen), I have added a regular non-modified `ENTER` key on the same key in the [LOWER] and [RAISE] layers. | ||
60 | * `LSHFT` and `CAPS` are also combined. The key works like a normal `LSHFT` unless double-tapped, in which case it counts as `CAPS`. This functionality unfortunately delays all key presses by at most 200 ms, but I have added ways to disable this both temporarily or permanently, described below. | ||
61 | * A failsafe `CAPS` key is on the same key in the [LOWER] and [RAISE] layers. | ||
62 | * There are `UNDO`, `CUT`, `COPY`, and `PASTE` keys. This was intended to be a universal way to use these commands since in macOS cut is `⌘ + C` but in Windows it is `⌃ + C`. Unfortunately these special keys only work in Windows. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ | ||
63 | |||
64 | ##Game lock: | ||
65 | **TL;DR** the game lock toggle disables the double-tap `CAPS`, and disables `GUI` keys (WINDOWS key). | ||
