ZWFP Layout Notes

About

ZWFP is a layout largely based on Colemak Mod-DH. The layout rotates the QZXVB keys for the following reasons:

XCV are brought together.
- One design goal of colemak was to keep ZXCV close together as they are commonly uses control shortcuts.
- Mod-dh moved D to where the V key was as that position was too ergonomic for an infrequent letter like V.
- XCV benefit more from being together are Cut-Copy-Paste are more related than Undo (which Z commonly represents).
B is returned to its QWERTY position.
- This was an unintentional benefit.
- The original rotation of QZXV moved Q to a better position than B despite being was less frequent.
  - This is based off the grid on the colemak mod-dh page.
  - This needs more testing, and may be reverted as despite the above mentioned grid, the current Q position feels easier than the current B position.
Based off the layout analyser its slightly better.
I like being different.

Work out punctuation locations.
Figure out what the thumb cluster is doing.
- I've somewhat settled on left home-row (centre) thumb key is space and right is shift OSL.
Maybe a deadkey instead of using shift-/alt- key overrides?
Repeat key
Move Home, End, PgDn and PgUp to a kc/ko/dk with the arrow keys.

Normal Minus and Equals Don't know if they are needed or not
Function keys 13-24
Capslock Not sure if multi-tapping OSL actually counts as a caps lock for shift
Numlock, Scrolllock and the Locking lock keys
Keypad characters
Command Keys in general
International Keys
Right Modifiers
Windows keys for either side
