![]() ![]() photoshop, which you can customize anyway). number row is layed out with programming in mind.Ĭtrl shortcuts don't move, except in programs that are coded to handle them weird (i.e. I put a lot of effort into it, focusing on having keys grouped logically for my brain, as well as maximising finger/hand alteration, while avoiding common bigrams and trigrams on the same finger. it is easy to learn and feels nice, but for me, i'd rather start from scratch and get what i really want, rather than make a bunch of concessions to qwerty. Qwerty is absolute garbage in every regard, but you never have to worry about typing on an unfamiliar keyboard.ĭvorak is easier on the hands, but it still has keys in silly places ('a' makes my pinky hurt' and why is 'u' on an index finger?)Ĭolemak is really good. ![]() I think i'm a bit late to the party, but i wanted to chime in.i use my own layout, because all the popular ones have at least something i take issue with. ![]() Or we could use "effort to type weird unicode characters", that would probably put neo at the top νεατλγβατ¿∫∃∫∂∀ℝℕ∃…♫ If the metric is "effort to learn", "compatibility with programs", "effort to install" or "effort when using somebody else's computer" qwerty wins all the time. It's not even generally agreed upon what is to be achieved some want ergonomics, others typing speed. adnw tries to distribute the work evenly, neo tries to focus on the strong fingers. The second metric you posted rates finger imbalance but several people I know who use pdvorak complain about excessive pinky usage so maybe finger imbalance is actually a good thing. The problem with metrics, I think is that the metric in itself is subject to what you call the likability process. Of course lefties have always had that problem. Relearning them is not really the big issue here, but copy/pasting can be quite annoying if you have one hand on the mouse but also need it for your ctrl c. What 7bit said is definitely the biggest problem with alternative layouts: Key combos are seldom taken into account (I think they were in Colemak). 27.0 Left Index Finger Travel 28.5 Left Index Finger Usage 18.6 Left Little Finger Travel 0. 13.9 Consecutive Same-Hand Keystrokes (L/R) 65.5/34.5 Home Row Key Freq. This feeling may actually be a bit short-sighted because I like that my hands have to move less but from an ergonomics perspective moving them more might actually be better. The most important reason people chose Programmer Dvorak is: J and K are where C and V are on QWERTY. It is just very obvious after you have used them for a while how horrible it is to reach up to the number row. Sorry, if it wasn't obvious why I prefer additional layers. The letter layout seems better than qwertz but that - of course - doesn't mean much. The third and fourth layers on that site are the interesting ones. What layout are you using on your different layers then ? Enter Programmer Edition About two weeks later, I was comfortable typing on Dvorak keyboard. Frequently used symbols now have easier positions.Icarium wrote:It works for all of them but not half as well as extra layers. ' \ | / = _ - ⌫ ( )) and math symbols (For example, ) is also rearranged, independent of the digit symbols arrangement. ! # $ % ^
