These layouts should be very straight-forward: the 1dk is on the quote key ('), everything else is unchanged. No AltGr layer.
Supported languages:
- Czech
- Danish
- French
- German
- Hungarian
- Italian
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Spanish
Almost standard ANSI qwerty:
- three keys are changed to make the
1dksmoother to use:- the colon key (
;:) becomes a dedicated1dk; - the colon & semi-colon signs are moved on
shift+ comma & dot keys; - the
<>signs are moved to theLSGTkey;
- the colon key (
- an optional
AltGrlayer for an easier access to all programming symbols ('"=<>-+{]/~`|_\).
These layouts can fit on only 42 keys: the 10 number keys + the 3 rows of 10 keys under them + spacebar + AltGr. This makes a big difference in typing comfort, especially on compact or ortholinear keyboards.
Probably the most efficient qwerty variant out there — and it’s usable with non-English languages.
Alternative layouts for keyboard nerds. Feel free to propose your own. :-)
