onedeadkey / arsenik Goto Github PK

We’ve started with a one-size-fits-all approach, and I now think it’s a mistake.

The Atomic mod looks like a much saner approach : every feature is in its own kbd file, which makes it easy to customize and extend. It currently allows :

• both ESDF {Arsenik) and HJKL (Selenium) navigation modes
• PC and Mac shortcuts and thumb keys
• various keyboard layouts
• angle mods !

This should become the default Arsenik implementation, with some documentation to explain (with SVG visuals) how to customize it.

Non-QWERTY layouts like Dvorak (+ Neo, Bépo…) should have their dedicated shortcut configuration files, so that the Navigation layer brings back the common left-handed shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd-ZXCV).

I just installed arsenik through kanaka on linux (cf my last message about missing numpad)

I can feel a slight delay for my laptop to react to the space bar, and that’s not nice when using it as space (normal, quick strokes). To write text feels sluggish.

Is there a way to make it snappier, especially for the space bar ?

Hello,

Thanks for this nice approach to ergonomics on a normal keyboard !

I tried arsenik through kanaka.
I use my laptop keyboard, ISO, with a bépo layout at the moment.
I use arsenik_easy_altgr.kbd as a config file.
I followed the procedure not to have to call sudo.

It seems to work, which is great !

But strangely enough, in nav layer :
All the left part is as described for left, right, home, pageend…
But ctlr-A works, and ctlr-Z does not. Not sure for others.
And the right part gives symbols instead of numpad. Is that expected on a bépo layout ?

Following the AZERTY-fr and QWERTZ-de symbol layouts, Optimot support could be nice to have.

It’s unclear whether Optimot’s non-free license allows it or not, but we could use a random name (e.g. “Optimist”) to dodge the question.

All the right hand is shifted by one key to the right. This makes altgr more accessible and the key at the right of altgr available, but we loose the right shift in the process so it must be on a thumb or something like that.

• Options enabled:
  • defsrc_pc_anglemod.kbd
  • deflayer_base_lt.kbd
  • deflayer_symbols_1dk.kbd
  • deflayer_navigation.kbd
  • defalias run XX
  • defalias_azerty_pc.kbd
• Keyboard layout: Azerty
• OS: Windows 10
• Kanata exe: kanata_winIOv2.exe version 1.6.1

There is a problem with all char of the altgr layer except {}~[]#`. When I hold altgr and press a faulty char, it does nothing or move the cursor, but when I press a working char and press a faulty one (keeping altgr pressed), it works. If I release altgr it resets and bugs again.

I tested almost the same with Qwerty UK and Qwerty Intl but no altgr char is working.

I am not able to test if Linux has the same problem though.
