Has anyone put any work into a Maltron compatible layout? I have a Maltron knock-off that I’ve been meaning to learn to type on for quite a while.

[image] squizzler: If people want to do that, they can. I cannot speak from experience but intuition suggests that you would be moving a bigger body part and that makes it slower and less responsive for regular typing. I am sure the palm keys will prove an excellent choice for modifiers that you…

[image] squizzler: I am not convinced that you should be moving the letters around on a layout that you have only been using a short while! I’m innovating :wink: But seriously, I’m not changing it blindly, I’m trying to see if the ideas in THE-1 have merit / can be applied to RSTHD. Accordin…

Oh man I really like that THE-1 document! Did the author ever post their full Model01 layout?

[image] andrewg: That’s ingenious! Although I wonder why you didn’t go one step further and make chording the first two fingers on both hands (THNA) generate double quotes. :smiley: I like it! I might play with that in due course, but am having enough trouble with the QMK combos for now! Sad…

[image] andrewg: Although I wonder why you didn’t go one step further and make chording the first two fingers on both hands (THNA) generate double quotes. :smiley: I set this up with QMK, fearing the worse. The examples of ‘combos’ only seemed involve pairs of keys, and almost everything in Q…

I don’t know QMK; I’ve only used the Keyboardio one - but can’t you tell the single quote combo not to trigger if the additional keys for the double quote combo are pressed?

[image] squizzler: people will discuss the importance of the ancient languages (Welsh and Jerriais) remaining ‘living languages’ - in use at large and being adapted to modern situations. How can RSTHD become a ‘living layout’ like Colemak, of even Norman and Workman? That’s an interesting ana…

[image] fire: Oh man I really like that THE-1 document! Did the author ever post their full Model01 layout? I don’t think so - I didn’t find it anyway. [image] fire: I use OneShot for all modifiers, so I never hold one over the course of several keystrokes. My general philosophy is to av…

With OneShot, hitting a modifier twice locks it, so I just hit Shift twice and then type the sequence of caps. The motivation is that it’s much faster, easier on my hands, and it means I only need one of each modifier.

Okay, I think this is the best I am likely to do for now on the minidox. I look forward to applying a lot of what I have learnt to the Atreus, when I get one. [rsthd-chorded-2] I foresee the different behaviour of shift on the left and right causing a problem, so I will just have to se how that g…

Well, no, as you subsequently said. In fact, limiting to this “cropped area” already breaks the assumptions built into the optimizer that generated the layout.
