# Raise Ergo

An ergonomic keyboard layout for the Dygma Raise keyboard, geared towards programming and the

command line on macOS and Ubuntu.

## Benefits/Design Principles

* QWERTY-based for ease of learning.

* Reduces stress on your pinkies by moving keys away from them and instead to your thumbs.

* Reduces discomfort from awkward key combinations by putting the modifier keys under your thumbs

  and finger tips. Inserting emojis with ⌃⌘␣ has never been

  easier! 😜

* Reduces hand movement and increases data entry speed by having cursor keys, deletion keys and

  ↩︎ under your finger tips, plus ⇥ under your left thumb.

* Speeds up text editing by having dedicated keys for skipping/deleting words/lines under your

  finger tips.

* Keeps ` near ⇥ and ⌃ near ⌘, so you can easily

  * switch apps with ⌘⇥,

  * switch windows with ⌘`,

  * switch tabs with ⌃⇥.

* Makes it easier to do programming, use the command line and write Markdown, by having word

  separators (␣, -, \_), quotation marks (',

  ", `) and braces ([, ], {, })

  under your thumbs. This also means you can more easily

  * navigate backward with ⌘[ & forward with ⌘],

  * zoom in with ⌘- & out with ⌘=, and

  * type `~` to go to your home dir with ⇧`.
