pgillan's Cheese TADA68 layout

A collection of tweaks to make the keyboard more mac friendly and increase personal usability, based on the default keymap.

  • Turned the caps-lock into an additional function key so I didn't have to try to hit the the keys on the right with one hand.
  • Moved the arrow/mouse controls to the caps-lock layer from the function layer.
  • Swapped the Windows key and Alt keys, I didn't have to do it in OS X.
  • Made the escape key work as a backtick when "Alt" is depressed, so I can 1) reverse direction when I Alt-Tab through current applications, and Alt-Backtick through open windows.
  • Turned the backtick/tilde key into another backspace key, so I can just go all the way up to the corner without overshooting.
  • Adjusted the volume controles so M is "mute", the "," ( or "<") is "down", and "." (or ">") is "up". It just makes a ton more sense, I have no idea why it would have been done any differently.
  • Moved PageUp/PageDown up above the delete key, and made the Home and End on the capslock and function layers.
  • Made the tab key on the function layer output 4 spaces instead of a tab character.
