Descriptions

I have complains about QWRTY layout. However, existing layouts are also not for me for some reasons. So I created this layout to achieve these.

  • Keep HJKL and BNPF close for vim, emacs and some software use these keybindings.
  • Better than QWERTY to type English and Japanese(Roma-ji).
  • As much efficient as DVORAK on both languages.
  • Do not keep AIUEO keys to left or right hand side like DVORAK.
  • Only the middle finger should be one row up to the home row.

But these are not goal.

  • Create more efficient layout than colemak, workman, etc.
  • Keep ZXCV to left bottom for shortcut.
  • Reduce the usage of the ring and pinky fingers.

TODO

  • Add Japanese Description.
  • Add configs for some software(xremap, ...)
  • Add the KLA score is described as one of the evaluation indicators.
