Description
Hands left is basically the result of me salvaging Hands Up. The problem with Hands Up is its pinkies, so I just got rid of right pinky entirely and put it on index. I then reordered vowels to be similar to Semimak's and went from there.
p
had to go because pr
is just terrible, so I moved that to right index as
well as that was rather empty. Moving v
to left pinky for some extra load there without the
weird pr
pattern gives me z or j for free to put somewhere else. Some index reordering and voilĂ ,
a layout with rolls only to the right is born.
Thoughts
First things first, I think this is an objective upgrade over Hands Up. There is a lot to be said about
inrolls vs outrolls, but I don't think any of that justifies a fhb
pinky and 1.2% bad
redirects. Hands Up was a funny experiment, but it's not something I'd ever recommend over other layouts
out there. That's different for this layout, it's virtually ready to be used right now.
I will say that I honestly have a hard time gauging how mostly rolls to the right will feel. I assume it's not that different from most other layouts, but I will be using this layout at some point in the future, so by then I'll know more about that. I'll update this section when that rolls around. You can obviously also feel for yourself because this layout is more than ready for it!
