@noroadsleft's KC60 keymap

Last updated: September 2, 2018, 1:03 PM UTC-0700


Layer 0: QWERTY - _QW

Standard QWERTY layout, with three QMK features:

  • The Menu key has been replaced by MO(_FW), which moves to my Windows Fn layer when held.
  • The Caps Lock key has been replaced with a dual function LT() key, which opens the Windows Fn layer when held, and is Caps Lock when tapped
  • The Escape key has been replaced with a KC_GESC ` ~ key when used with a Fn key or a Shift key
For the rest of this readme, the physical location of keys will be referred to by their function in a US QWERTY layout.

QWERTY layer

KC_GESC Esc when tapped alone, ` ~ when used with a Shift or GUI key.
LT(_FW, KC_CAPS) Opens the Windows Fn layer when held; toggles Caps Lock when tapped.
MO(_FW) Opens the Windows Fn layer when held.

Layer 1: Hardware Dvorak - _DV

Accessed by holding either Fn and tapping /? key, then tapping 2@.

A hardware-based Dvorak Simplified layout. At my weekend job, I use a shared computer that runs MacOS Sierra, in US QWERTY layout. In this layer, I can leave the system in QWERTY, plug my keyboard in, and still type in Dvorak.
