Preonic Double Spacebar HHKB layout mainly for programming

This layout is highly curated to my needs and what I like. I mainly use it for programming in macOS, but also gaming in Windows.

The main concept behind every key position is to be able to maximize how many things I can do without lifting my hands from the home row.

Layers

Base

  • Ctrl/Cmd is on the Caps Lock place (HHKB like)
  • Enter and Space are in the double space bar
  • Normal arrows position (not vim-like)
  • Left Shift on hold - Caps Lock Toggle on tap
  • Vertical scroll on encoder

Gaming

  • Switched Enter and Space to reach more easily when gaming
  • Left Shift doesn't have Caps Lock toggle
  • ` is in Ctrl space, mainly used for Push To Talk in games

Lower

  • Main programming symbols with right hand
  • Media controls with left hand
  • Full F1..F12 Function keys on number row
  • Ctrl + C | Ctrl + Z Macros to avoid having to constantly press encoder
  • Ctrl + Tab | Ctrl + Shift + Tab on encoder

Raise

  • Arrow keys on JKLI
  • Home End PgUp PgDown on M,.Up
  • Numbers on asdfgqwert
  • Del on BackSpace
  • Horizontal scroll on encoder

Config

  • Swap Ctrl and GUI on H so I have Cmd next to KC_A when on MacOS
  • Unswap Ctrl and GUI on G so I have Ctrl next to KC_A when on Windows
  • J switches to BASE layer
  • K switches to GAMING layer
  • Default Config for Preonic
