* Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
I've been using [[http://colemak.com][colemak]] for quite a while now and I really like it.
|
||||
The fact that basically only the letters change position (aside from
|
||||
~;~ and ~:~) really makes learning it easier than some alternatives
|
||||
would.

|

|

I came across [[http://www.kaufmann.no/roland/dvorak/index.html][Programmer Dvorak]] a little while ago, and found the
|
||||
idea of having symbols on the keyboard without needing the Shift key
|
||||
very enticing. It made me think real hard about maybe learning
|
||||
Dvorak after all, even though I'd previously chosen colemak
|
||||
*because* it didn't change the places of any symbols and such.

|

|

I decided against it, though. I've invested quite a few hours
|
||||
getting proficient with colemak, and I'd hate for that to have been
|
||||
in vain. So I decided to try and change colemak's symbol positions,
|
||||
or some of them anyway.

|

I didn't change the order of the number keys, though Shift is now
|
||||
required to use them, because I didn't like the idea. These numbers
|
||||
have been ingrained into my brain since the beginning of time, or
|
||||
at least ever since I first sat behind a PC. Reading the Programmer
|
||||
Dvorak page makes me believe that there is good reason to change
|
||||
their order, but I thought that any benefits gained would not
|
||||
outweigh the benefit of blindly knowing where they are. However, it
|
||||
is of course possible that this may change in the future, since I
|
||||
also thought something similar when I first switched to colemak, but
|
||||
then about symbol keys in general.

|
||||
|
||||
I also didn't shift the number keys one place to the right, as
|
||||
Programmer Dvorak does. This is because even though I'm sure that
|
||||
that would work very well on a standard keyboard layout, it would
|
||||
ruin the symmetric properties of my [[https://www.trulyergonomic.com/store/index.php][Truly Ergonomic Keyboard]]. Right
|
||||
now the ~(~ and ~)~ are both placed directly above my index fingers,
|
||||
and since I spend quite a bit of my free time writing various forms
|
||||
of Lisp code that is extra cool.

To install and use the X11 keyboard, copy the ~xkb/ryuk~ file to where

~/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols~. Once put in the proper place, next to,

Since your distribution may have Xorg configured differently, you
|

may have to specify it in a different file or a different section,

but please note that only the line starting with ~Option~ was put

there by me.

*** TTY
|
||||
|
||||
To install the TTY keyboard layout you should gzip the
|
||||
~kbd/ryuk.map~ file, which can be achieved by running ~make~ from the
|
||||
~kbd~ map, and put the resulting file where the kbd utilities can find
|
||||
them. In my case this is ~/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/colemak/~, and I
|
||||
choose the ~colemak~ directory because the ~ryuk~ files are based
|
||||
directly off the colemak files.

This should work at least on systems that use systemd. I don't know

how other init systems set it.
