Peter Cock@vavakado for my #KeyboardLayout I'm using a variant of #HandsDownPromethium https://www.reddit.com/r/KeyboardLayouts/comments/1g66ivi/hands_down_promethium_snth_meets_hd_silverengram/ (which has a vim cursor cluster but I rarely use it), and the modal #HelixEditor in the terminal. I picked it as I wanted to try a letter on a thumb key (#ErgoKeyboard), and it scored well on various metrics (and was the new hotness at the time).
Ever tried the compose key?
<Multi_key> <A> <quotedbl>
will insert Ä
(latin capital letter a with diaeresis)
Today's compose key sequence is:
<Multi_key> <parenleft> <KP_1> <KP_Space> <parenright>
will insert ⑫
(circled number twelve)
Today's compose key sequence is:
<Multi_key> <slash> <o>
will insert ø
(latin small letter o with stroke)
With compose, exotic characters are near:
<Multi_key> <acute> <plus> <O>
will insert Ớ
(latin capital letter o with horn and acute)
Ever tried the compose key?
<Multi_key> <greater> <E>
will insert Ê
(latin capital letter e with circumflex)
In hindsight, if I had bought the 32-key #FishKeyboard and learnt the #OnishiLayout my #ErgonomicKeyboard journey would have been a bit different.
Instead I’m designing my own 32-key #MechanicalKeyboard(s), learnt #HandsDownPromethium, and am learning the #NaginataStyle Japanese kana #KeyboardLayout.
Maybe not that different?
At the end of this post https://oookaworks.seesaa.net/article/519786424.html 大岡俊彦 suggest that for a #KeyboardLayout layout that's compatible with both English and Japanese, go with the #OnishiLayout https://o24.works/layout/ - but for Japanese, go with his #NaginataStyle or the #TsukiLayout (月配列) http://jisx6004.client.jp/tsuki.html
