- # callum’s planck layout
-
- This is a layout for the grid planck, built with a few ideals in mind:
-
- - Consistent and minimal response times should be maintained. Keys that react
- differently depending on whether they are tapped or held, keys that react
- differently if they are double tapped, etc. should be avoided – they
- inevitably send their keycode later than a normal key – interrupting the
- immediate feedback from the screen. Therefore we restrict ourselves to
- chording as our only means of getting more than one symbol out of a single
- physical key.
-
- - The hands should never need to leave the home position. The usual culprit for
- this is the arrow cluster, so the arrow cluster should be as close to home as
- possible.
-
- - There should be two of every modifier (one on each side), otherwise certain
- long key combinations become hard to make.
-
- - It should be possible to do things you might want to do while using the mouse
- with only the left hand (e.g. change tabs, navigate back or forwards in
- browser history).
-
- - Symbols should be arranged so that the most frequently used are easiest to
- reach. This includes numbers, and lower numbers are more commonly used than
- higher ones. (number arrangement borrowed from [dustypomeleau’s minidox
- layout][]).
