Raw Blame History

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
