laurentlaurent's Preonic keyboard

Largely similar to his ErgoDox EZ's layout

Features

Special Modifiers for Global Shortcuts

• Hyper key (Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+Shift)
• CAG key (Ctrl+Alt+Cmd)
• Meh key (Ctrl+Alt+Shift)

Home Row modifiers

• Home Row modifiers (hold F/J to use CMD/Ctrl, D/L for Alt, ... )
• Separate layers for Mac and Windows keyboard to improve muscle memory linked to Home Row modifiers (CMD is mapped to F and J on Mac, CTRL for Windows)
• Extra CMD/CTRL key mapped to Z for one-handed CMD+F/CTRL+F

Qwerty Layout improvements

• Backspace and Enter are on bottom row (next to Space bar)
• = is where Esc would be expected to be
• "-" is where Backspace would be expected to be
• Grave is where LCTRL would be expected to be
• Esc is where Alt (on Mac)/Win (on PC) would be expected to be
• Del is where CMD (on Mac)/Alt (on PC) would be expected to be
• Hyper key replaces Caps Lock

Mod taps

• Home Row modifiers
• Lower and Raise are Backspace on tap
• Holding = is CAG (CTRL+ALT+CMD)
• Holding Esc is MEH (Ctrl+Shift+Alt)
• Right Shift is bound to RShift on hold, Backspace on tap
• Spacebar acts like a LShift on hold, Spacebar on tap
• In instances where repeated keys is needed:
  • Tap then tap-hold repeats the key
  • Lower, Raise (and most other layers) turns off mod-tap on most keys
• Music layer disables all key mappings, Gaming layer disables modtaps

Layer Switching

• Layer switcher key, used to switch layout (allows use of _NAV, _NUM layout without holding their layer keys)
• Punctuation layer accessible by holding Tab, Backslash or Backspace
• Grave switches to One-Handed layer on hold
• Mouse and arrow key layer accessible by holding ; or A
• Del switches to Numpad on hold
• Enter switches to Extra layer on hold
  • Extra layer will be used for applications shortcuts
