Buswerks' 4x12 Ortholinear Layout

For use on Planck, Let's Split, and similar keyboards

Layout Overview

  • Main Layer
    • An additional shift key is located on the right space key (only works for grid layouts)
    • Enter is located on the Raise key (layer-tap)
    • The left and right shift keys function as Space Cadet shift keys
    • The bottom left key is the Adjust modifier
    • Escape is in the traditional Caps Lock position
      • Holding down the escape key acts as LGUI (intended for macOS use)
  • Lower
    • There is a numpad on the right hand (4, 5, and 6 are located under JKL/NEI/HTN)
    • Plus and minus keys are located to the right of the numpad
    • All other symbols are located on the other side of the keyboard, in a somewhat logical order
      • Symbols from the number row are in order, starting on the left pinky.
      • Equals and underscore are in easily accessible spots, because they are more commonly used in programming
      • The ampersand is less common, so it is moved to the right of the equals symbol
  • Raise
    • Vim-style arrow keys
      • Above the arrow keys are media controls
      • Below are home, end, pgup, and pgdn
    • The left hand has all three types of braces
      • Curly braces are under the index and middle fingers for easy access during programming, and because parentheses are already available through Space Cadet shift
  • Adjust
    • Function keys are located along the top row (reset is moved to accommodate this)
