What keyboard layout do you use? (sh.itjust.works)

I use Workman.

EDIT (2024-08-10T19:23Z): I should clarify that I am referring to the layout that you use for a physical computer keyboard, not a mobile/virtual keyboard.

Dvorak with some custom bindings for German diacritics and the Euro symbol, e.g. AltGr+a gives me ä.

Furthermore, my layout behaves like QWERTY when I told down Ctrl, so that shortcuts like Ctrl+C are still easy to press.

Switching to Dvorak immediately removed any pain I had started experiencing more and more often typing with QWERTY. In the long run it also improved my typing speed. I can usually achieve between 130 and 140.

Nice there is a great keyboard layout creator for windows.

If you use linux do you mind sharing your custom layout and how you did it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

On Windows it's pretty easy. On Linux I found some shady kernel monkey patch for the Ctrl feature, but I don't remember where.

Unfortunate :/

And the custom Dvorak layout with the umlauts on linux?

Never managed to make one. I just use KDE compose.

Let me know if you find something, though!
