DCompact Layout

Dvorak, Layered, Mouse-Enabled, Compact -- now with Plover~

See the layout source for the actual layout

Goals

The following are the goals kept in mind when designing the DCompact layout:

• Provide minimal travel distance when typing English or coding
• Consistent muscle memory translation from standard QWERTY
• Stateless typing experience
• OS-agnostic features, macros, and key placement
• Minimize dependence on mouse usage

These are generally all met or balanced within reason. This layout is not intended at all to be a familiar layout for much of anyone (except maybe those who already type in Dvorak) -- this is meant to amplify the best parts of having limited, ortholinear keys with layering.

As Reference Material

If you're reading this hoping to find reference material to implement your own layout, then please feel free to copy over this layout and make edits where you see fit. I removed a lot of the features I felt extraneous to my usage and simplified style where I felt needed. This would hopefully mean that my code should feel like a good base to develop from for those new to QMK.

Remember that settings defined in the layout directory override and merge with those in the keyboard folder
