Buswerks' 4x12 Ortholinear Layout

For use on Planck, Let's Split, and similar keyboards

Layout Overview

• Main Layer

  • Enter is located on the Raise key (layer-tap)
  • Space Cadet shift keys
    • Lower + shift keys = Brackets[]
    • Raise + shift keys = Braces{}
  • The bottom left key is the Adjust modifier
  • Escape is in the traditional Caps Lock position
    • Holding down the escape key acts as LGUI (intended for macOS use)

• Lower

  • There is a numpad on the right hand (4, 5, and 6 are located under JKL/NEI/HTN)
  • Plus and minus keys are located to the right of the numpad
  • There are macOS desktop navigation keys and volume controls under the left hand

• Raise

  • Vim-style arrow keys
    • Below the arrow keys are home, end, pgup, and pgdn
  • Symbols are located on the right side of the keyboard, in a somewhat logical order
    • Symbols from the number row are in order, starting on the left pinky.
    • Equals and underscore are in easily accessible spots, since they're commonly used in programming
    • The ampersand is less common, so it's to the right of the equals symbol

• Adjust

  • Function keys are located along the top row (reset is moved to the Colemak 'R' position)
