symmetrical colemak (mini)

[msiegel]

i was curious about the colemak layout... what would it would look like in a mini layout with split space bar & symmetrical staggering.

for your amusement:



there was a blank spot in the middle which seems pretty hard to hit, so... caps lock

Interesting.

I'd probably swap the space to the left thumb. But then again I don't mind using it with th right.

"Hyper Space"...what's that for, Ludicrous Speed?

Good design. The symmetric stagger makes all the difference.

I would probably toy with the idea of having Backspace were the FN key is, like on the Alps Glidepoint boards and the M15's - and would have to add Command keys for Macs.

Welcome after, friend!

As for the split space bar, I'd go with Enter to the left, Space to the right and probably mouse buttons for the trackpoint in the middle (or something).

cool!

i love how small and rectangular it is.

is that single key in the middle of the bottom row for the space?

nice, I'd switch the Esc whith the `.

[msiegel]

heyyy, how about a miniature trackball
XD

Xuan: You're probably right. Looks better, too.

Matt: Nice. I had a trackpoint in my image, but you've cleared room for the buttons too. I guess I can fit in my 'Ř' letter somewhere else, heh; actually, that'd probably be where you have your CapsLock. Or there could be normal-sized '5' and '6' keys and one key between them.
