DreymaR's Big Bag of Keyboard Tricks

For Linux (updated to XKB-data v2.12.1)

  • New "Colemak[eD]" AltGr mappings (lv 3-4) putting dead keys on AltGr+symbol keys and reworking most other mappings
  • An Extend layer using Caps Lock for its modifier (lv 5-8; "Extend") for navigation from the home position and more
  • Angle/Wide modifications to improve wrist angles, hand spacing and right pinky stretch/load effort
  • Curl modifications to improve hand curvature
  • For several locales, a 'Unified Symbols' layout with only a few necessary locale changes from the standard Colemak[eD];
  • Also, a layout to 'Keep Local Symbols' like their default (QWERTY-type) counterparts and key cap markings for that locale
  • Access to Cyrillic, Greek and Hebrew letters using layout toggling to intuitive phonetic Colemak layouts
  • Access to a mirrored Colemak that allows one-handed typing (I haven't used it much - but if I ever break an arm...!)
  • The 4 Tarmak transitional Colemak layouts for learning Colemak in smaller steps if so desired

See the DREYMAR'S (XKB) topic on the Colemak Forums (http://forum.colemak.com) There are plenty of explanations and further links in there, as well as links to files
