Because removing the middle columns fits with the Workman layout's philosopy, Workman is used as the basis for the layout. This means the layout should be very easy to learn for Workman users, and reasonable for Colemak users. Other space gains are made by combining keys that are only ever chorded with other non symbol keys (with function-layer alternatives where needed). + +### Alpha-numeric layer + +,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. +| Q | D | R | W | B | F | U | P | J | 7 | 8 | 9 | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +| A | S | H | T | G | N | E | O | I | 4 | 5 | 6 | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +| Z | X | M | C | V | L | Y | K | Up | 1 | 2 | 3 | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +|Alt/Tab|Gui/Esc| , |CTL/Bsp| Fn/Ent|SFT/SPC| . | Left | Down | Right | 0 |Adj/Ent| +`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------' + +### Function layer + +,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. +| ! | @ | # | $ | % | ^ | & | * | F12 | F7 | F8 | F9 | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +| Tab | [ | ] | - | Del | ' | ( | ) | F11 | F4 | F5 | F6 | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +| Menu | | | = | \ | / | | | PgUp | F1 | F2 | F3 | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +|Alt/Tab| Gui | ~ |CTL/Bsp| Fn/Ent|SFT/Spc| ; | Home | PgDn | End | F10 |Adj/Ent| +`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------' + +## Qwerty + +The Qwerty layer, mostly intended for gaming use, makes use of the doubled chorded/non-symbolic keys to obtain use of the entire alpha-numeric typing area. + +### Qwerty layer + +,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. +|Gui/Esc| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 | Bksp | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +| Ctrl | Q | W | E | R | T | Y | U | I | O | P | / | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +| Shift | A | S | D | F | G | H | J | K | L | ; | " | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +|Alt/Tab| Z | X | C | V | Fn/SPC| B | N | M | , | . |Adj/Ent| +`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------' + +### Qwerty Fn Layer + +,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. +| Gui | F1 | F2 | F3 | F4 | F5 | F6 | F7 | F8 | F9 | F10 | F11 | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +| Ctrl | ~ | [ | PgUp | ] | | | - | Up | = | | F12 | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +| Shift | Tab | Home | PgDn | End | Del | | Left | Down | Right | | | +|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------|-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------| +|Alt/Tab| | | | | Fn/Spc| | | | | Menu |Adj/Ent| +`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------' + +## Stenography + +The Steno/Plover layer moves the number row below the regular keys, providing a much more comfortable placement for the thumb keys.
