Layout of the month: BEAKL 15

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hey, my Ergodox layout made it into The Ergo 21 as Layout of the month. :-)

You can play my layout tour in Oryx, by following this link:

TIP:
If you navigate it with a desktop browser, use the Right Arrow to
navigate the slides, otherwise you miss to Conclusion (last slide)
due to a bug in Oryx. Though it might be fixed now.

Excerpt from my tour:

This is my BEAKL 15 layout (Balanced Effortless Advanced Keyboard
Layout). This layout has outstanding performance for both English
and non-English prose and code. Instead of a “home row”, it’s
design is around a 3x3 “home block” using the strongest fingers
of each hand.

For more detail about the layout theory and prior revisions,

For convenience, I have also included DVORAK and QWERTY as
fall-back layouts. Dvorak was my go-to layout for the last 20
years. Qwerty for other people to type on (think pair programming),
or occasional gaming. It’s fully PC/Mac enabled too.


Enjoy, and do let me know what you think.

Regards,
Graeme
