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
• hold character to use Ctrl layer
• character combos to switch tabs, windows, and wrokspaces
• thumb cluster for modifiers and layer switching

Layers

L1	L2	L3
	control layer	symbol layer

• switch layers using left thumb cluster
• hold key to activate layer temporarily (e.g. just one symbol)
• double tap key to activate layer persistently (e.g. navigation for a while), removing muscle strain.
• Alternatively, holding a character key will yield its ctrl variant, e.g. hold c to copy, removing the need to hold the ctrl modifier
