nstickney's Iris Layout

Familiar layout for users who regularly switch between Iris and more standard layouts.

Keymap

standard-readme compliant

Install

For instructions on building and installing this keymap, see the docs. Below is the command for me; it may be different for you.

$ make keebio/iris/rev2:nstickney:avrdude

Usage

  1. QWERTY BASE layer.
    • /, \, , [ENTER], -, and = on the thumb clusters.
    • CAPSLOCK replaced by ESC; hold it down for CTRL. ' can also be held for CTRL.
    • Space-Cadet Shift is enabled, so the SHIFT keys send ( and ) when tapped.
    • Hold down / or = for ALT.
    • Hold down \ or - to access the functions layer.
    • Upper-center thumb keys are GUI and MENU.
      • Tapping GUI 2, 3, or 4 times will toggle NUMLOCK, CAPSLOCK, or SCROLLLOCK, respectively.
      • Tapping MENU 2, 3, or 4 times will toggle the NUMP, SYMB, and SYSH layers, respectively.
  2. Unicode-input symbols on SYMB and SYSH layers. Based (loosely) on US-International layout.
  3. NUMP layer has number pads on each hand. Number pad 7-8-9 align with QWERTY 7-8-9 on right hand.
  4. Function, arrow, media, and miscellaneous keys on FCTN layer.
    • F1 through F10 on 1-10. F11 is on GUI and F12 is on MENU.
    • Brackets ([ and ]) available on U and I; braces ({ and }) on O and P.
    • Arrow keys on ESDF and HJKL; familiar for both Vim users and FPS gamers.
    • W is HOME; R is END. T is PAGE UP and G is PAGE DOWN.
    • Music controls on lower row of left hand.
    • Volume and screen brightness on lower row of right hand.
    • PRINT SCREEN, PAUSE, SYSREQ, INSERT, and CLEAR also mapped, as intelligently as possible.
    • A toggles the RGB underglow (which changes color to indicate active layer).
    • Q toggles the Unicode input through Linux, WinCompose, and MacOS.
