The Contra layer was something that I didn't see widely utilized as a US standard so I tweaked the basic layout layout by Jack Humbert. It's closer to the standard layout you would get on a US keyboard. I also moved the rest of the special characters to the lower layer.
This is almost the same as my MechWild Marcuio keyboard.
The default layout currently (as of Mar 19, 2018) has a lot of components from Planck's default layout and is not very suitable for a basic Contra board. This basic layout is developed from Planck's default layout but has removed the parts that's irrelevant to a Contra board.
My other keyboard is a HHKB and I don't use Tab
or Esc
key that much and hence the unusual placements for those keys.
