Norman layout

I use Norman layout on my ErgoDox.

David (the layout’s author) claims it’s 46% less effort than QWERTY and I tend to agree. I’m still fluent in QWERTY on regular keyboards, to reach my full speed takes a couple of minutes.

Comparison of Norman layout with QWERTY

• Red keys swapped hand,
• yellow keys are under another finger,
• green keys are just in a different column,
• blue keys changed their row.

Note for Vim/vi users: I don’t remap any keys and HJKL works just fine for me.

P.S. I still use QWERTY on regular keyboards.
