German Dvorak done properly
- I learned the english version. Some characters are switched:
E-I
,D-H
,R-T
;Z
andL
are wrong @
is in the AltGr Layer 4x - Why?ß
is placed inconveniently (Shift).
- Close to the english version - not much relearning necessary
- Special characters are easier to reach
- Optional Fn layer (depending on the machine, you can use QMK for better results)
- Bonus:
Å
andℓ
, meant for dialects
Layout-Pictures: Keyboard Layout Editor
Linux: Text Editor, reverse engineering, An Unreliable Guide to XKB configuration, my own Cheatsheet
Windows: MSKLC, AutoHotKey
macOS: Ukelele
Most mechanical keyboards are programmable with QMK and can implement the Fn layer this way. The keyboard can handle it way better.
