# jyh's levinson layout

[Levinson](https://keeb.io/products/levinson-lets-split-w-led-backlight)
|
||
|
|
built on rev2 PCBs. A split 4x12 keyboard with LED backlights.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The layout is oriented towards needs for programming, Emacs, XMonad,
|
||
|
|
and experience with 60% keyboards with no base layer arrow keys
|
||
|
|
(Poker). It makes heavy use of modifiers and layers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Layout features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Extensive use of _Mod Tap_, e.g.
|
||
|
|
* Tap sends Esc, Hold sends Left Control
|
||
|
|
* Tap sends Enter, Hold sends Right Shift
|
||
|
|
* ... and many more
|
||
|
|
* Hyper and Meh keys
|
||
|
|
* Right modifier keys in place of arrow keys
|
||
|
|
* Arrows are instead available in two alternate locations:
|
||
|
|
* WASD arrows on _Adjust_
|
||
|
|
* Arrow cluster on _Raise_ (inspired by hexwire)
|
||
|
|
* Centered symbol/bracket cluster on _Lower/Raise_
|
||
|
|
* Inspired by hexwire layout
|
||
|
|
* Programming-oriented
|
||
|
|
* Spacebar sends modifier keys on hold (_this is finicky in practice. may shut off completely_)
|
||
|
|
* Control ~~and Alt/Meta~~ on left ~~and right~~ space, respectively
|
||
|
|
* Strict space available on _Function_ and _Numpad_ layers
|
||
|
|
* For Emacs keychords
|
||
|
|
* Extra dedicated layers
|
||
|
|
* Numpad (available with tap toggle)
|
||
|
|
* Function key (F01-24)
|
||
|
|
* Redunant keys where it is convenient to have characters together
|
||
|
|
on one layer
