I am trying to improve number entry on the Pok3r. I tried mapping them to the left to qwe asd zxc (because fn + 'r' is apparently reserved for 'reset'). This requires shifting the hand left 1 column. However the staggered layout feels odd.
I am testing this with a Colemak letter layout:
1) swap the number row to the bottom row
2) numbers are 9753.-2468 with 0 and 1 above the 4 and 6
3) shift the letter rows to the top 3 rows
4) map fn to spacebar
Has anyone tried anything similar? Any suggestions or critiques are appreciated.
Below is the AHK code I'm using. If the layout works, I will program the board this way.
(Note the code does not simulate the fn map to spacebar, which I have programmed to the board itself in one of the layers.)
