I use a Planck keyboard as a daily driver since 2018. Over time, I improved the layout and added functionality to the firmware. The main idea was to easily access all keys and functions without moving my hands from the home position (when your fingers rest on ASDF and JKL;). I'd like to share this keyboard layout with you.
This keyboard layout is perfect for people that use the mouse with their left hand. I am right handed myself. But since a couple of years, I learned to use the mouse with my left hand. I started doing that to relieve strain in my right arm. But now, I really like a setup with the keyboard in the middle, a mouse on the left, and pen and paper on the right. For those that insist on using the mouse with their right hand, I plan to create an alternative layout called 'orthodeluxe-R'.
Apart from the basic QWERTY layout, the base layer features:
The numpad layer contains a numpad and non-alphanumeric characters, like math operators, brackets and quotes.
The navigation layer contains the cursor movement keys, keys F1-F12, and more:
There are some additional layers for:
This keymap supports Bootmagic Lite. Bootmagic configures the keyboard when initializing (starting up after connecting the USB cable).
Owners of an older Planck (rev5 or older, those without a USB-C connector) need to disable audio in file 'rules .mk' before building. Otherwise the firmware size will be too large.
