TheAmarin's Neo2-based Layout
|
||
|
|
================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This layout is based on [Neo2](https://www.neo-layout.org/), an ergonomic keyboard layout optimized for coding and German language.
|
||
|
|
**neo2marin** tries to squeeze Neo2 onto the Planck keyboard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Neo2 already uses several layers with multiple modifiers, so we don't have to invent new layers.
|
||
|
|
A major difficulty is the missing 'hashtag' key which is usually left to the 'return' key on German QWERTZ keyboards.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another astonishing thing might be that `return`/`enter` needs a modifier (`MOD4`+`P`).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This layout makes heavy use of the split `space` key, as its left part becomes the quite important `MOD4` modifier.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## The Neo2 Main Layer
|

|

|

```

|
||
|
|
|----+----+----+----+----+----| |----+----+----+----+----+------|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, `y` and `MOD3` (switch to layer 3) need to share a single key.
|
||
|
|
This works for me most of the time but I am happy [to learn about your solution](https://github.com/theamarin/qmk_firmware/issues)!
|
||
|

|

|
## The QWERTZ fallback layer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I nearly never use this layer, so there may be room for optimization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|----+----+----+----+----+----| |----+----+----+----+----+------|
|
||
|
|
|TAB | Q | W | E | R | T | | Z | U | I | O | P | Ü |
|
||
|
|
|----+----+----+----+----+----| |----+----+----+----+----+------|
|
||
|
|
|CAPS| A | S | D | F | G | | H | J | K | L | Ö |Ä/MOD3|
|
||
|
|
|----+----+----+----+----+----| |----+----+----+----+----+------|
|
||
|
|
|LSFT| Y | X | C | V | B | | N | M | , | . | SS |RSFT |
|
||
|
|
|----+----+----+----+----+----| |----+----+----+----+----+------|
|
||
|
|
|LCTL|LGUI|LALT|SWAP|MOD5|MOD4| |SPC |SWAP|RALT|APP |RALT|RCTL |
|
||
|
|
|----+----+----+----+----+----| |----+----+----+----+----+------|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The German `ß` has moved right to the `.` key, and we have to reuse `Ä` for `MOD3` again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## MOD3: The Coding Layer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is definitively the coolest part of Neo2, having most of the coding-related symbols right on your home row!
|
||
|
|
Of course, this is the only way to do it on Planck.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|----+----+----+----+----+----| |----+----+----+----+----+----|
|
||
|
|
|' | € | _ | [ | ] | ^ | | ! | < | > | = | & | ` |
|
||
|
|
|----+----+----+----+----+----| |----+----+----+----+----+----|
|
||
|
|
|MOD3, \ | / | { | } | * | | ? | ( | ) | - | : | @ |
|
||
|
|
|----+----+----+----+----+----| |----+----+----+----+----+----|
|
||
|
|
|LSFT, # | $ | | | ~ | ' | | + | % | " | ' | ; |RSFT|
|
||
|
|
|----+----+----+----+----+----| |----+----+----+----+----+----|
|
||
|
|
|LCTL|LGUI|LALT|SWAP|MOD5|MOD4| |SPC |SWAP|MOD5|APP |RALT|RCTL|
|
||
|
|
|----+----+----+----+----+----| |----+----+----+----+----+----|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because `y` and `MOD3` have to share a key, we need two variants of the MOD3 layer (as can be seen in the keymap).
