Messing about with my #KeyboardLayout again (that’s half the fun of #QMK or #ZMK etc in a programable #MechanicalKeyboard), this time the mechanism to get capital letters without a dedicated shift key… ⇧

I’m giving #AutoShift another go (long press for capitals), alongside #CapWords (like caps lock, but it turns off at the end of a word), and #MagicCommaShift (comma before letter means shift) 🪄 ⇧

Stuff that just sucks. E.g. has abysmal usability and is very badly implemented:

#android + #physicalKeyboard + #keyboardlayout + #shortcuts

Choose any two of the four and the great spaghetti monster save you

@vavakado for my #KeyboardLayout I'm using a variant of #HandsDownPromethium https://www.reddit.com/r/KeyboardLayouts/comments/1g66ivi/hands_down_promethium_snth_meets_hd_silverengram/ (which has a vim cursor cluster but I rarely use it), and the modal #HelixEditor in the terminal. I picked it as I wanted to try a letter on a thumb key (#ErgoKeyboard), and it scored well on various metrics (and was the new hotness at the time).

💻 How do you decide between the 60% and 80% layouts? 🤔

🔹 60% Layout (UHK 60)
Compact and minimalist – perfect for small desks and portability.
Ideal for travelers or those with limited desk space.

🔹 80% Layout (UHK 80)
Expanded layout with additional dedicated keys for direct access.
Comfortable for extended typing sessions with fewer key combinations.

💡 Our keyboards come in both layouts – pick the one that fits you best.

Unsure if I've even mentioned this anywhere before,

but I've maintain a "Steam Curator" page for the last few years, keeping a log of how well games handle custom keyboard layouts - feel free to follow it if you want to see a note on Steam Store pages telling you whether a game's keybind settings are up-to-snuff:

spoiler: they rarely are. )= #gaming #accessiblegaming #keyboard #mechanicalkeyboards #ergonomickeyboard #ergonomics #QMK #ZMK #keyboardlayout #Colemak #indiedev #gamedev

people using alternative layouts other than #colemak and #dvorak, what layout do you use, how is your experience with it and why did you choose it over the aforementioned ones? do you use vim or any other simmilar modal editor?

This is the oddest #KeyboardLayout I've seen in quite a while: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/01/20/bandit-pc32-standalone-colorforth-keyboard-computer-is-powered-by-the-raspberry-pi-rp2350-microcontroller/

And yes, the #OrtholinearKeyboard of that small #handheld computer seems to be a #MechanicalKeyboard, they say it has #Kailh Brown switches, seemingly MX compatible.

Moving around the O and especially the P and L key reminds me of the #keyboard layout of the #Enigma, also because I also already was experimenting with such layouts: https://github.com/xtaran/XTK/blob/master/Painigma27.md

Hmmmmmm, am I the only one to wonder why computer keyboards have put the „0“ to the far right and the „1“ to the far left? It‘s a constant nuisance to enter binary code… #ComputerSciences #BinaryCode #keyboardlayout

I am using #Archlinux and want to replace my current #keyboardlayout with the #workman layout.

The #archwiki and #manpages are incredible - but I find myself unable to grasp which steps exactly I have to do, to accomplish what I aim to achieve.

Can some friendly person help me out, or give me a hint on what needs to be done?
