# DCompact Layout
|
|
|
|
**Dvorak, Layered, Mouse-Enabled, Compact -- now with Game Mode~**
|
|
|
|
_See [the layout source](keymap.c) for the actual layout_
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
The following are the goals kept in mind when designing the DCompact
|
|
layout:
|
|
|
|
- Provide minimal travel distance when typing English or coding
|
|
- Consistent muscle memory translation from standard QWERTY
|
|
- Stateless typing experience
|
|
- OS-agnostic features, macros, and key placement
|
|
- Minimize dependence on mouse usage
|
|
|
|
These are generally all met or balanced within reason. This layout is
|
|
not intended at all to be a familiar layout for much of anyone (except
|
|
maybe those who already type in Dvorak) -- this is meant to amplify the
|
|
best parts of having limited, ortholinear keys with layering.
|
|
|
|
## As Reference Material
|
|
|
|
If you're reading this hoping to find reference material to implement
|
|
your own layout, then please feel free to copy over this layout and
|
|
make edits where you see fit. I removed a lot of the features I felt
|
|
extraneous to my usage and simplified style where I felt needed. This
|
|
would hopefully mean that my code should feel like a good base to
|
|
develop from for those new to QMK.
|
|
|
|
_Remember that settings defined in the layout directory override and
|
|
merge with those in the keyboard folder_
