WIP40.notes.md

This is my attempt of a good 40% layout for the CSTC40 PCB.

http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/98cc2257cc6fb9981651bca9190b2072

goals

It should be easy to type:

• General:
  • Ctrl+C, X, V
  • Ctrl+Z
  • accented characteres with Right Alt as the compose keys: çáàãéâê
• Programming:
  • camelCase, kebab-case, snake_case words
  • single and double quotes
  • dash, underscore
  • backtick
  • numbers
  • (), [], {}, ()
• Window Managers:
  • Super+1, 2, 3, etc
  • Super+Pgdup, PgDn
• Browsers:
  • Ctrl+PgUp, Ctrl+PgDn
• Vim:
  • Esc
  • Ctrl+P
  • Ctrl+X, A

modifiers on thre home row

Home row keys when hold act as the main modifiers, D: Ctrl and S: Shift on the left side and K: Ctrl, L: Shift on the right. The : key on the right is used for RAlt to be configured as compose key on linux and used for accented leters. The A key on the left is for super(Gui), but requires tap+hold in order to avoid accidental triggering.

why Esc and Bksp on center columns?

I like the idea of split keyboards, a 2-column gap between G and H is what I could do on this compact board.

layers

The keys before and after the spacebar activates layers 1 and 2. Layer 1 contais a numpad and layer 2 symbols of a traditional number row: !@#$%^&*()_+
