# Corvec's Planck Layout
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This layout is a development-focused layout with an emphasis on ergonomics. It is intended to be used in Colemak mode,
|
||
|
|
but has a full-QWERTY mode for gaming compatibility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It utilizes redundancy for common keys so that they are more easily accessible in every task. For example, the common
|
||
|
|
layers, Raise and Lower, both can be activated with two different keys, each pressed with either hand. Certain symbols
|
||
|
|
( \~|+_ ) are on both layers, since the keys they take up are a bit out of the way. The minus symbol is available on the
|
||
|
|
quote key in a variety of ways - both layers, as well as via tap dance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The right-hand Lower activation key activates a slightly different layer. The keys accessed by the opposite hand are the
|
||
|
|
same as the Lower layer, but the keys on the right hand differ. For this reason, we refer to this instead as the
|
||
|
|
Leandown layer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Auto-shift is enabled, but there are also three shift keys, since typing with auto-shift is by necessity slow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Movement is done Vim-style, on the hjkl / hnei keys, on the Lower layer so that it is easiest to activate it.
|
||
|
|
The arrow keys are mimicked by Home/PgDn/PgUp/End on the next row.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The arrow keys and broad navigation keys are replaced by a symbol-pad on the Leandown layer. However, in order to allow
|
||
|
|
single-hand navigation, the bottom right corner cluster becomes arrow keys.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Media keys are in the same location as the arrow keys, but are on the Wobble layer instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Toggle layers are minimized so that the state of the keyboard is more predictable. Shift Toggle is in the works, but
|
||
|
|
will not be included until it can be set to deactivate automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Delete is accessible from the third Shift key.
