# Minidox Norman Layout by LeHoff
 | 
			
		||||
Based on the QWERTY layout created by Khitsule.
 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
[KLE link](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/86ec49f9f820a8b9b36f6e0d2ef8fff7)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Layers
 | 
			
		||||
| Layer | Legend |
 | 
			
		||||
| ----- | ------ |
 | 
			
		||||
| Base  |  Top left (black) |
 | 
			
		||||
| Lower | Bottom right (red) |
 | 
			
		||||
| Raise | Top right (orange) |
 | 
			
		||||
| Adjust | Front print |
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Features
 | 
			
		||||
* Raise/lower layers focus first on one-handed use
 | 
			
		||||
* Numpad on right hand with raise layer
 | 
			
		||||
* Navigation on left hand with lower layer (ESDF)
 | 
			
		||||
    * D refers to desktop left/right on Win 10 (win+ctrl+left/right)
 | 
			
		||||
* Heavy use of hold/tap dual function keys - from left to right:
 | 
			
		||||
    * Cmd/Enter
 | 
			
		||||
    * Raise/Esc
 | 
			
		||||
    * Shift/Backspace
 | 
			
		||||
    * Ctrl/Space
 | 
			
		||||
    * Lower/Tab
 | 
			
		||||
    * Alt/Enter
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Modifier Placement Rationale
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
There are several major driving forces at play:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* I use MacOS.
 | 
			
		||||
* I'm Danish so the Alt and Shift-Alt layers in MacOS simply have to work.
 | 
			
		||||
* I use Vim for coding.
 | 
			
		||||
* I use org-mode in Emacs to keep track of my time.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* Space is on the right hand side because I almost exclusively use my right hand thumb for
 | 
			
		||||
  space.
 | 
			
		||||
* Cmd is on the left since I often use Cmd+click to open a link in a new tab in Safari.
 | 
			
		||||
* Due to my usage of Vim Esc got a spot on the modifier row.
 | 
			
		||||
* Tab is on the right to enable easy navigation between winows with Cmd+Tab.
 | 
			
		||||
* Shift is on the left since org-mode uses Ctrl+arrows to manipulate task state quickly,
 | 
			
		||||
 and since the arrow keys are activated using Lower (which has been moved to the right) and S, E, T,
 | 
			
		||||
 and D, it works well that way. 
 | 
			
		||||
* Ctrl is on the right since Ctrl+<0-9> is used in MacOS to switch between spaces.
 | 
			
		||||
* Enter is on both sides since Enter is often used together with all of the modifiers. E.g.,
 | 
			
		||||
  Cmd+Enter to send mails in most situations, but Ctrl+Enter is used in Emacs to create a
 | 
			
		||||
  new task in org-mode.
 | 
			
		||||
 
 | 
			
		||||
This means that arrows and digits are being modified from the other hand, which could be
 | 
			
		||||
bad for gaming, so if you're into that you might want to re-think a few things, but in
 | 
			
		||||
that case you are probably using a Windows machine and then there are other constraints
 | 
			
		||||
you have to deal with.
