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.
Todo
- 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.
Keys still to add
- A reset key, cba with finding small pokey things to use at the back.
- Shifted numbers

\\\) and shifted \(Don't forget to use NOUS - Square brackets
\[ \]and shifted - Dedicated question mark

Obscure keys to add just for completeness

Don't know if they are needed or not - Function keys 13-24

Not sure if multi-tapping OSL actually counts as a caps lock for shift - Numlock, Scrolllock and the Locking lock keys
