A “numbers pad” -is a separate square on a 100% sized keyboard, or separate keypad. - -Unlike more usual base layers choices, which typically contain a letters -layout and access to all the common layers, this ‛Base’ layer is -quite different. Once you have switched to it, you lack keys to access -all ‛common’ layers. - -You can only switch back to your ‛regular’ base layer, or switch to a -second form of the numbers pad. This second layer is called “auxilery” -layer here, but technically it is the same thing as the numbers/symbols -`_NSY` layer, which accompanies a letters layer like Qwerty or Dvorak. - -Use the top left key from the numbers pad layer, to switch back to the -other ‛Base’ layer. This is also unique to this special ‛Base’ layer, -but similar to the way the “common layers” switch back to Base. - -The other Base layer (once you are in this Number Pad layer) for most -people will be a letters layer with Qwerty, Dvorak or some other layout -on it, in which the keyboard will start up. To reach the numbers pad -Base layer, use the key ‛Other Base’ on the `_RAR` layer. - - -Led colors ----------- - -The led colors for this ‛Base’ layer are different from the usual. They show -the state of the Numbers Lock, on or off. Colors are green/light-blue/blue to -indicate Numbers Lock is off, which means the navigation cluster is active. -Colors are blue/light-blue/green to indicate the Numbers Lock is on, -meaning you can type numbers. - -This follows the same scheme as the `_PAD` layer, which in turn follows -the logic of the `_NSY` (numbers/symbols) layer being blue, and the `_MOV` -(movement/navigation) layer being green, in such a way that the left most -led is the indicator thereof, following reading direction left to right. The -brightness of the leds is diminished, to indicate the difference with `_PAD` -layer (whether or not that layer is compiled). - - -Auxilery numpad layer ---------------------- - -With the numbers pad layer comes a second layer, as is normal for -all Base layer choices. This second layer is the same as the normal -numbers pad, except the numbers are in super- ⁽¹²³⁾ or sub-script -₍₁₂₃₎. - -The numbers on the second layer become subscript when Shift is pressed, -otherwise they are in super-script. These super-/sub-script forms of the -numbers Unicode (see the `_RAR` layer). - -This second form of numbers pad is reached from keys on the numbers pad -Base layer. You can switch back to the regular numbers pad, with the -upper/left key. Another key stroke from there on the upper/left key, -will bring you back to what is likely your regular typing layer. - - -Auxilery numpad layer led colors --------------------------------- - -For the second layer that comes with it, with super-/sub-script numbers, -the led colors are what they “normally” are (for other compile -choices) for this layer (the ‛Alternate‛ Base accompanying layer, -usually numbers/symbols): blue/blue/light-blue. There is no indication -of Numbers Lock on this layer, although a few keys are altered by Numbers -Lock (Dot/Delete ‛.’, and Enter). - - -‛Arrow’ additional hardware key -=============================== - -Unlike with other layers: the optional ‛arrow’ hardware key on the -right hand is not inserted between the last and second last keys on the -right, and neither is it set to the configurable default value (toggle -`_MOV` layer). Instead, this key is inserted one key over to the left, -and it is set to GUI. - -The reason is that this GUI will line up with the GUI on the ‛Base’ -layer. If combined with the ‛command’ hardware key on the right, set -to the other GUI, you can reach all Numbers Pad keys with all modifiers, -including both GUIs. - -Another reason is that a typical use of the additional hardware -key on the right (called ‛Arrow’) will by default lead to a navigation -layer, however the Numbers Pad already has its own navigation. To add -a toggle to `_MOV` would be a matter of convenience, whereas not being -able to reach all Numbers Pad keys with either GUI could represent a -serious problem. - -Downsides to this design are the loss of default ‛Arrow’ hardware key -use on this layer, and a sort of gap of one key in the Numbers Pad layout. -The downsides seem to be matters of style and convenience, whereas not -being able to type whatever you can on a 100% keyboard could be a serious -problem for someone (keyboard shortcuts mainly). - -There is no default solution to type everything with all modifiers -including the GUIs, without adding the additional hardware key(s). -Obviously it is possible to just stick a GUI on a free spot, but that -makes things chaotic. Single pad Numbers Pad could be re-arranged to -make room for GUI, which would loose more of its similarity to other -keyboards. - - -Numbers pads everywhere ? -========================= - -Perhaps the amount of options for a numberical keypad are a bit overkill. -It had to do with how it developed. - -For some overview of your options: - - ① Common layer numerical keypad. Just another layer, like `_RAR`, `_BON`, etc. - - 1. You can have a numerical keypad in the _common layers._ - 2. You can also remove this layer entirely. - - 3. This “common layers” numbers pad is activated through the Base layer, on Left Shift tap. - 4. Returns to ‛Default Base’ with upper/left key. - - 5. Variation of form: right hand square form, resembling a key pad on - other keyboards. - 6. Variation of form: the numbers in a straight line, resembling the - `_NSY` layer and other layers. - - ② A numerical keypad on the other ‛Base’ layer, in the dual layout system. - - 1. You can have a numerical keypad on the ‛Alternate Base’ position. - 2. You can also put something different on ‛Alternate Base’, such as a - Colemak layout. - - 3. This layer is activated through the `_RAR` layer, by choosing ‛Other - Base’. - 4. Returns to ‛Default Base’ with upper/left key, effectively the same as with - the common numerical keypad layer, and all other common layers. - - 5. Variation of form: right hand square form, resembling a key pad on - other keyboards. - 6. Variation of form: dual handed square form, so you have a key pad for - each hand. - - 7. For all variation of form, there is an accompanying layer which is - the same, except the numbers are in Unicode super (unshifted) and - sub-script (shifted). - -Some examples: - -① As close to a 100% ‛regular’ keyboard as possible. - - If you have no use for ‛Alternate Base’ with anything else, you could put - the single handed numerical keypad there, and remove the common `_PAD` layer - to have less mental clutter. - - This makes accessing `_MOV` on Left Shift easier, you have modifiers with - the numerical keypad, and you have super/sub-script as well (although its use - is probably rather rare). - -② The predictable numbers typing option. - - If you want ‛Alternate Base’ to have something else (or nothing - at all), keep the `_PAD` layer, and choose straight line numbers, - so that you don't have to learn a second way to type numbers, if you - ever have a need to type keypad numbers (which could be quite rare). - - In this version, you are not envisioning the use of keypad navigation, - but rather use regular `_MOV` layer navigation. (This was the original - programming on the keyboard, before more options developed; it follows - the overall logic that the same or similar keys are in the same or - similar positions.) - -③ The everything option. - - You could keep both `_PAD` with straight lined up numbers if you like typing - all numbers the same way, and also compile numpad single square on ‛Alternate - Base’ to have good access to a regular numerical keypad, should you ever need - it, and/or to have an easier to access navigation cluster there (easier than - navigation on the straight line numpad variation that is, where navigation - is difficult). - -④ The numerical keyboard specialist. - - You could compile it for both hands, if you type so much on a numerical - keypad, that it is useful to be fast on it with either hand. - - It will be harder to type on the double numerical keyboard with modifiers - (Shift, Control, Alt), but if you compile with the common numbers pad layer, - you can reach such combinations there. To keep things similar, you can compile - this common numbers pad layer with numbers in square form, rather than a straight - line. |
