Title: QGMLWB keyboard layout
Post by: xorxpto on Mon, 28 November 2011, 05:28:13
“When a modified QWERTY layout is fully optimized (where the P and ; keys are swapped),
the resulting layout is QGMLWB and effort is reduced by 44%.
Note that ZXC maintain their position relative to QWERTY, as do Q and S.„

• Typing lessons:
- install RapidTyping (http://www.rapidtyping.com/downloads.html (http://www.rapidtyping.com/downloads.html))
Before running RapidTyping for the first time, go to directory "\RapidTyping\Resources\Lessons\" and replace file "Default.xml"
with this one http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49319255/RapidTyping/Default.zip (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49319255/RapidTyping/Default.zip)
This file configures any layout for the English Language, showing all the lessons in levels Intermediate and expert in English.
(Note: if you skip this, and don't overwrite file "Default.xml" before running RapidTyping for the first time,
you will get only lessons for the Beginner level, on this keyboard layout)

• To try it without installing anything, use this Autohotkey file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49319255/AutoHotKey/QGMLWB.exe (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49319255/AutoHotKey/QGMLWB.exe)
(Note: “Pause” key alternates between keyboard layouts)
