I was trying hard to settle down in a keymap but every single keymaps had some uncomfortable things.
So, why shouldn't I create one?
...After millions of thousands of hundreds of years...
Boom. Here's moonwol.
- Quick adaptive
- No Home Row Mods
- UNIX-Friendly
Because I was using 60% keyboard(I was using ErgoDash and Logi K380), I tried my best to configure it familiarly so that I could become familiar with it quickly.
TBH, I am not a good typier. 85 WPM in English, 500 in Korean. So I thought:
I am enough slow to handle Home Row!
NO!!!
Home Row mods made me like a turtle and gave me a horrible typing experience so I THROW THEM AWAY.
I know that Windows is market leader but I don't care because I use Mac as a daily driver, Linux as a backup machine.
Blue badge means tap-hold, yellow badge means combo keys.
I have to use QWERTY layout(Hangul keyboard is based on QWERTY Layout). Of course if you want to use an alternative layout like Colemak, Workman, or Dvorak, you can modify it freely.
Some guys put shift
key in the index finger spot and they claim that index finger is stronger than pinky. I can't agree it more, but my muscle memory was too strong to change my habits - that's why I put shift
key in pinky position.
I had to put tap-hold keys(Of course I already tried to replace tap-hold keys to combo keys, but the result fucked me up) for convenience, but putting them in rarely used keys so that my typing experience won't get ruined.
These keys are for the programming, since I am a programmer. For the position of [
and ]
might be a question. In the layer 2, (
and )
keys are on the position of [
and ]
. That's why - for musle memory.
Numbers are on the top row because they are more common in the normal keyboard.
For quick adaptive from 60% key layout, symbols are following the 60% layout. After adaptive, num row may changed to num pad for convinence.
And should be aware that quots are in the thumb finger row.
Fn keys are like a white elephant. It should exists, but rarely used. So I just merged it with media keys.
Volume keys, Brightness keys, Media keys and Fn keys are in a layer.
This layer is for the arrows.
