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). ## Default layer |
