Layout considerations

[Hjortsberg]

I know, another layout change proposal.

• Unneccesary symbols, Pound and Euro, these are located at first mod layer. Should probably give room for more important symbols.

• F1 to F12 are located at first mod layer, suggested change is double mod keys. Also move F10-F12 to right most row on right hand. Thiswill open up the possibility to have paranthesis, brackets, etc on the index fingers. Open with left index finger and close with the right.

• Personal preference regarding numpad, +, -, = is often used together. No matter if you are dealing with Excell, programming, or just typing. So these should be on the same layer and preferably on the rightmost keys( not = though).

I tried to visualize the change, the only thing I don't really like is having the numbers and +, - operands on the Lambda layer.

Please note that the green color could be accessed by fn + lambda, for things that you rarely use.

Looks good, why don't you like having them on the Lambda layer?

You could also move the 0 to k and = to h, maybe? Because I it feels weird to access the 0 button when holding Lambda.

Just because of the awkward lambda + shit(0) as suggested in this picture, and i just like being able to lift the hand when using a num pad, old habits you know 🤷‍♂️ . To clarify, the 0 on shift only makes sense if the numbers layer are activated with the other hand (not shown in this picture). But yes, if the numbers should remain at lambda the 0 does fit better at K or r.ctrl as before 😃 .

Also note, the dot on super, i noticed that the current layout is wierd writing decimal numbers on since you need to lift the lambda modifier to write for eg. "8.0" now you could have lambda activated the whole time when writing "8.0".
