  2. DSL KeyPad — ввод более 4 700 символов Юникода прямо с клавиатуры

    Зачем? — У меня и самой был запрос на такую программу. Программу с кучей «нестандартных» символов. Существующие решения не отвечали моим потребностям и тогда я решила создать своё, подходящее под мои хотелки: многоязычный ввод, ввод типографских, математических и даже алхимических символов. И теперь я надеюсь, что сие «изобретение» окажется полезным не только для меня. Такой инструмент необходим мне для разработки вселенной — построение канона культур, писательство (именно работа над книгой стала триггером для начала разработки) и работа с языками. Создавать новые языки на основе существующих систем ныне будет проще — все нужные символы как на ладони. В статье представлен обзор на DSL KeyPad и его основные фичи, благодаря которым вы сможете печатать с внушительным арсеналом символов, имея всего-то две языковые раскладки: русскую и английскую. Румынский? Немецкий? Или может быть Вьетнамский? Старославянский? Да легко — множество комбинаций и ряд фич позволит вам писать на куче языков. Да хоть Германские руны и Глаголицу печатать. Прилагаются и широкие возможности кастомизации под свои нужды. А это примеры названий языков и систем, написанные с помощью моей программы: Қазақ тілі, Хуэйзў йүян, Забони тоҷикӣ, Йағнобӣ зивок, Аԥсуа бызшәа, Авар мацӏ, Українська мова, Словѣньскъ ѩꙁꙑкъ, Црногорски језик, Ли́мба Рꙋмѫнѣскъ, Итәнмәӈин крвэԓхатас, Даһур Усүүэ, Эвэды̄ турэ̄н, Азәрбајҹанҹа, Башҡорт теле, Тэлэңгэт, Чӑваш чӗлхи… Ænglisċ sprǣċe, Français, Tiếng Việt, Hànyǔ Pīnyīn, Norrœnt mál, Limba Română, Español, Język polski, Čeština, Bokmål, Tamaziɣt, Türkçe, Sää’mǩiõll…

  3. How many words can you type using only characters on the home row of your keyboard using different layouts? Using /usr/share/dict/words on my machine:

    % cd /usr/share/dict
    % wc -l words
    104334 words

    % grep -Pci "^[asdfghjkl;-]+$" words
    188

    % grep -Pci "^[anisfdthor]+$" words
    1276

    % grep -Pci "^[aoeuidhtns-]+$" words
    2059

    % grep -Pci "^[ashtgyneoi']+$" words
    2415

    % grep -Pci "^[arstdhneio']+$" words
    5090

  4. Dear folks, I've decided to give up.
    I've switched my to in mid October (see marcoxbresciani.codeberg.page/ ) but I've never been a touch-typer and it's very difficult to find even 20 minutes per day for training (see keybr.com/profile/f5vmplt ).
    While working I'm slowing down everyone, waiting for me typing and doing bunch of errors.
    I don't think I'll continue: I'm updating my layers to go back to .
    20+ years of QWERTY are hard to change.

  5. Sigue la crónica para los fanáticos de las distribuciones re teclados! Terminé de re-escribir en python, el codigo que hace un análisis demperformance en 8 distribuciones de teclado dentro de las cuales se encuentran las versiones españolas del Qwerty y Dvorak. Realizo un benchmark que es la media cuadrática de 3 factores, la distancia recorrida por los dedos, la alternancia de las manos, y la fracción de los combos de 2 y 3 letras que se ejecutan con la misma mano (izq o der) y que respetan el inbound-rolling finger motion, el movimiento hacia el interior. El indicador inbound-rolling es el promedio de ambas manos 50% cada una y luego 2-letras un peso de 66% y 3-letras un 33% por ser menos frecuentes. La alternancia computada como la cantidad de cambios consecutivos de mano, sobre el total de caracteres. La performance general inicialmente con un peso de 33% para cada indicador (distancia, alternancia, rolls), pero probe variaciones de todas formas y... spoiler alert --> gana siempre el Dvorak. El peor de todos es... spoiler alert --> Qwerty. En breve vere de correrlo con textos más grandes y variar los parámetros #dvorak #keyboard #layout #qwerty #colemak #arensito #workman #minimak #capewell #norman

  6. Most of what I do on my computer is #typing. Whether that's #writing this, chatting, taking notes, or prose.

    One of the most powerful ways to increase the /pleasure/ of using electronics is to become adept at typing.

    Therefore, here's a list of resources for understanding typing, improving your speed, or even completely changing the layout you can use to spend less time typing, and more time thinking.

    1. Monkeytype - a great typing training website, includes multiple lists of words (start with English/English200 - it's the 200 most common words in English), options for different tests, punctuation, capitalization, etc. etc.

    monkeytype.com

    2. Keybr - this one is different. It's a progressive training website that starts with the home row (for multiple common layouts), and adds keys once you hit about 40WPM with them.

    It automatically generates words using common bigrams and trigrams, leading do a very well-rounded word list for training.

    If you're learning a new layout, Keybr is indispensible for the first few hours of training.

    www.keybr.com

    3. https://bit.ly/keyboard-layouts-doc

    This is a document that goes into detail into the various layouts, the mechanics of typing, what to look for in a layout, how to type efficiently, and why QWERTY is bad (it really is).

    Well-worth the read.

    4. DreymaR's Big Bag of Kbd Tricks (https://dreymar.colemak.org/)

    DreymaR went to great lengths to make Colemak-DH accessible to everyone, and with that, he developed a number of extensions.

    If you choose to learn #colemak, his website is great. If you choose to go with something else, DreymaR's ExtEnd layer will still save you effort:
    https://dreymar.colemak.org/layers-extend.html

    The idea is to have a layer that includes the common nav keys, so you hold the modifier button for instance, and have your arrow keys right on your home row. It's a huge time saver, and I personally don't think I can go back to moving my hand to the arrows all the time.

    5. OXEY's Playground: https://o-x-e-y.github.io/layouts/playground/

    An amazing project. The website lets you drag and drop keys to change the layout so see exactly how the relevant statistics go up and down.

    This way you can evaluate alternative keyboard layouts and check if your desired changes make sense.

    If you're experimenting with improving the layout you're using for yourself, that's the place to start, imo.

    Those are really great resources, I think, and learning to type faster than the average of 40 WPM is kinda... necessary, if you work with computers at all.

  7. Bueno, volví a hacer un análisis de texto de lo que escribo, y nuevamente la distribución Dvorak Español es la más eficiente. Es imponente este teclado, pensar que fue diseñado en la década del 30 y en este test está comparado con varios más modernos, como el Colemak, Workman, y Neo2, igualmente Colemak le sigue muy de cerca. Sigue asombrándome esta obra maestra del diseño. Pueden analizar sus propios textos en esta página y compararlos con otra distribuciones. Incluí la Qwerty, para que vean lo ineficiente que es. patorjk.com/keyboard-layout-an #dvorak #layout #colemak #workman #qwerty #neo2 #keyboard #teclado #typing

  8. Hey fediverse, what layout are you using? Vote for and comment for other layouts.
    Would love to hear your thoughts on Colemak and Workman specifically. Boosts appreciated.

  9. After becoming proficient with a Dvorak keyboard, I find that it slows me down b/c regardless of whether I type on a #dvorak teyboard or #qwerty keyboard, my brain switches to the wrong keyboard forcing me to make corrections often enough that i think the marginal #DvorakKeyboard gains are lost. Any other dvorak users out there?
