DreymaR's Big Bag of Keyboard Tricks

For Linux (updated to XKB-data v2.17.1ub1, 2016-06)

  • New "Colemak[eD]" AltGr mappings (lv3-4) putting dead keys on AltGr+symbol keys and reworking most other mappings
  • An "Extend" layer using Caps Lock as a modifier (lv5-8) for navigation/editing from the home position and more
  • Angle/Wide ergo modifications to improve wrist angles, hand spacing and right pinky stretch/load effort
  • Curl-DH ergo modifications to encourage natural finger curvature
  • For several locales, a 'Unified Symbols' layout with only a few necessary changes from the standard Colemak[eD]; Also, a layout to 'Keep Local Symbols' like their default (QWERTY-type) counterparts for that locale
  • Intuitive phonetic layouts for Cyrillic, Greek and Hebrew scripts
  • Mirrored Colemak that allows one-handed typing (if I ever break an arm...)
  • The 4 Tarmak transitional Colemak layouts for learning Colemak (or Colemak-Curl) in smaller steps if desired

More info

Run the install and setxkb scripts with -h (or look inside them) for more help and info about their workings!

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.
