ZWFP Layout Notes

About

ZWFP is a layout largely based on Colemak Mod-DH. The layout rotates the QZXVB keys for the following reasons:

  • XCV are brought together.
    • One design goal of colemak was to keep ZXCV close together as they are commonly uses control shortcuts.
    • Mod-dh moved D to where the V key was as that position was too ergonomic for an infrequent letter like V.
    • XCV benefit more from being together are Cut-Copy-Paste are more related than Undo (which Z commonly represents).
  • B is returned to its QWERTY position.
    • This was an unintentional benefit.
    • The original rotation of QZXV moved Q to a better position than B despite being was less frequent.
      • This is based off the grid on the colemak mod-dh page.
      • This needs more testing, and may be reverted as despite the above mentioned grid, the current Q position feels easier than the current B position.
  • Based off the layout analyser its slightly better.
  • I like being different.

Todo

  • Work out punctuation locations.
  • Figure out what the thumb cluster is doing.
    • I've somewhat settled on left home-row (centre) thumb key is space and right is shift OSL.
  • Maybe a deadkey instead of using shift-/alt- key overrides?
  • Repeat key
  • Move Home, End, PgDn and PgUp to a kc/ko/dk with the arrow keys.

Keys still to add

  • A reset key, cba with finding small pokey things to use at the back.
  • Shifted numbers not including $^\*
  • Dedicated Pipe |
  • Dedicated Underscore \_
  • Backslash \\ and shifted Don't forget to use NOUS
  • Square brackets \[ \] and shifted
  • Dedicated question mark
  • Backtick (`) and shifted
  • Function keys 1-12

Obscure keys to add just for completeness

  • Normal Minus and Equals Don't know if they are needed or not
  • Function keys 13-24
  • Capslock Not sure if multi-tapping OSL actually counts as a caps lock for shift
  • Numlock, Scrolllock and the Locking lock keys
  • Keypad characters
  • Command Keys in general
  • International Keys
  • Right Modifiers
  • Windows keys for either side
