The positions +of the letters are not only optimized for German letter frequency, +but also for typical groups of two or three letters. English is +considered a primary target as well. + +The design tries to enforce the alternating usage of both hands to +increase typing speed and incorporates ideas from de-ergo and other +ergonomic layouts. High frequency keys are placed in the home row. +The current layout Neo 2.0 has unique features making it suited for +many target groups such as programmers, mathematicians, scientists or +LaTeX authors. + +Neo is grouped into six layers, each dedicated to a special purpose. + +# Layers + +At the core this is a Neo 2.0 layout adjusted for the Ergodox Infinity. +The keymap is laid out expecting a macOs using the US QWERTY or ABC +Extended layout. + +[Layer 1](#layer-1) Lowercase, upppercase and typographical characters + +[Layer 2](#layer-2) Special characters for programming + +[Layer 3](#layer-3) WASD-like movement keys and number block + +[Layer 4](#layer-4) Greek characters + +[Layer 5](#layer-5) Mathematical symbols and Greek uppercase characters + +[Layer 6](#layer-6) Ergodox Infinity US QWERTY layout + +[Layer 7](#layer-7) Function keys + +## Legend + + * Keys marked with `----` are dead keys. + * Blank keys are transparent and fall through to lower levels. + +## Layer 1 + +This layer implements NEO layers 1 and 2. + +``` +,--------------------------------------------------. ,--------------------------------------------------. +| ---- | 1/° | 2/§ | 3/ | 4/» | 5/« | ESC | | US_1 | 6/$ | 7/€ | 8/„ | 9/“ | 0/” | -/— | +|--------+------+------+------+------+-------------| |------+------+------+------+------+------+--------| +| TAB | X | V | L | C | W | LCTL | | RCTL | K | H | G | F | Q | ß | +|--------+------+------+------+------+------| | | |------+------+------+------+------+--------| +| NEO_3 | U | I | A | E | O |------| |------| S | N | R | T | D | Y | +|--------+------+------+------+------+------| LALT | | RALT |------+------+------+------+------+--------| +| LSHIFT | Ü | Ö | Ä | P | Z | | | | B | M | ,/– | ./• | J | RSHIFT | +`--------+------+------+------+------+-------------' `-------------+------+------+------+------+--------' + | ---- | ---- | LCTL | LALT | LGUI | | RGUI | Left | Down | Up | Right| + `----------------------------------' `----------------------------------' + ,-------------. ,-------------. + | FKEYS| Home | | PgUp | FKEYS| + ,------|------|------| |------+------+------. + | Back-| | End | | PgDn | | | + | space|Delete|------| |------| Enter|Space | + | | | NEO_4| | NEO_4| | | + `--------------------' `--------------------' +``` + +## Layer 2 + +This layer implements NEO layer 3. + + +``` +,--------------------------------------------------. ,--------------------------------------------------. +| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | › | ‹ | | | | ¢ | ¥ | ‚ | ‘ | ’ | ---- | +|--------+------+------+------+------+-------------| |------+------+------+------+------+------+--------| +| ---- | … | _ | [ | ] | ^ | | | | ! | < | > | = | & | ---- | +|--------+------+------+------+------+------| | | |------+------+------+------+------+--------| +| | \ | / | { | } | * |------| |------| ? | ( | ) | - | : | @ | +|--------+------+------+------+------+------| | | |------+------+------+------+------+--------| +| | # | $ | | | ~ | ` | | | | + | % | " | ' | ;
