A custom X11 (XKB) keyboard layout I made for x11 on Linux, based on Colemak-DH with a Czech symbols.
Designed for comfortable typing with CapsLock as a modifier layer.
(Layout image made with this handy website)
- Colemak-DH + Czech support - type with one of the best layouts :)
- CapsLock modifier - arrow key, backspace, delete, home, end, page up & down without moving your hands
- Mods included:
- 🔄 Curl Mod - more ergonomic home row key placement
⤴️ Angle Mod - better wrist alignment on left hand↔️ Wide Mod - extra spacing between hands
Download the file inside symbols, you can name it anything.
# Copies the custom layout to other system pre-installed layouts. (needs to be re-run after an update)
sudo install -m 664 ~/Downloads/ss /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
# Sets the current keyboard to 3 layouts with shortcut to toggle them.
# You can put this to .xprofile or .xinitrc depending on your system
setxkbmap -layout "cz,ss,us" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
