A tweaked keymap for Redox
This keymap modifies the default keymap for the awesome Redox keyboard designed by Mattia Dal Ben.
Changes to the default keymap
These keymap changes are meant to improve the usability of the layout in everyday use:
- Move
GUI
(SUPER
) key to where default leftCTRL
and rightALT
are - gives you two frequently usedCMD
keys on macOS where my brain expects them - Move
/?
into usual location next to rightSHIFT
- the default flash from Falbatech put\|
here (might not be the Redox default?), which felt unintuitive - Put
\|
into bottom-left spot whereGUI
(SUPER
) was - had to go somewhere and this bottom-left placement sort of balances with the almost bottom-right/?
- Change default
ESC
intoESC
on tap,CTRL
on hold - Love the UNIX-eyCTRL
key location and wanted to keepESC
in the original position - Change default
'
above rightSHIFT
into'
on tap,CTRL
on hold - Love the UNIX-ey CTRL key location, but it can give you 'left claw hand', which a second, mirroredCTRL
key fixes - Add
F11
andF12
keys to two layers - needed on macOS if you want to control volume up and down from your keyboard (not shown, on a different layer) - On thumb clusters:
- Left: Move
SPACE
closest to left thumb and moveBACKSPACE
to the right of that - put the key for 'getting it right' closest to your thumb and reduce usage of my right hand (purely personal preference) - Right: Move
ENTER
closest to right thumb and moveDEL
to the left of that - put the key for 'getting it right' closest to your thumb
- Left: Move
Changes to the Redox layout
These are physical keycap changes on the board that make reaching the Layer 1
keys easier and that, subjectively, look more balanced visually:
- Increase the
Layer 1
key sizes from 1U to 1.25U - Decrease the 1.5 U key size for
[
and]
to 1.25U
You could even make [
and ]
1U so that you can use keycaps from a standard ANSI key set and also increase the size of the Layer 2
keys to 1.5U.
