Base layer - 1:
- Colemak Mod-DH.
- Home-row modifiers to have the modifier keys at the most comfortable positions.
Symbol layer - 2:
- All the symbols in the most Qwerty way possible to make adoption easier.
Number layer - 3:
- Inspired by Pnohty’s numpad+, I reversed the order of the numbers so the lowest digits are in the most comfortable positions (following Benford’s law)
- Media/Brightness controls
- Arrow keys for navigation in combination with modifier keys
For mac I have magnet setup for window management with these settings:
