# Keyboard layout
|
|
|
|
A keyboard layout optimized for ergonomics, compatibility, german language, right handed, and programming.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
|
|
- corne keyboard: Ergonomic ortholinear split layout. All keys are in reach.
|
|
- based on German QWERTZ layout with umlauts
|
|
- brackets and punctuation on default layer
|
|
- Symbol layer with numpad
|
|
- function layer with vim navigation
|
|
- character combos to switch tabs, windows, and workspaces
|
|
- thumb cluster for modifiers and layer switching
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Layers
|
|
|
|
- 3 layers: default with characters and most common symbols e.g. punctuations, symbols with more symbols and a numpad, and nav with function keys and a navigation cluster.
|
|
- switch layers using the corresponding left thumb cluster key: hold for momentary and double tap for permanent layer switch
|
|
- combo of the two innermost thumb cluster keys, i.e. space and backspace to go back to the default layer permanently
|
|
- Upper case characters by holding backspace on the default layer (activates left shift). Some symbols, e.g. brackets have alternative shift behavior. Same with Ctrl, Alt and Windows.
|
|
- Uses thumb cluster hold instead of home row mod to allow dynamic typing rates
|
|
- Thumb cluster and 4 extra keys are persistent across all layers
|
|
|
|
## Thumb cluster
|
|
|
|
| action | L1 | L2 | L3 | R1 | R2 | R3 |
|
|
| ---------- | --------- | ------------- | ----------- | ----- | -------- | ----- |
|
|

|
# Home row combos
|
|
|
|
- home row mods requires typing at a constant speed. In addition, holding keys takes time. Instead, home row combos are used, similar to strokes in stenography.
|
|
|
|
| left hand key | right hand key | action |
|
|
| ------------- | -------------- | --------------- |
|
|
| F | J | pipe `\| >` |
|
|
| F | K | lambda `x -> ` |
