Unity layouts

Unity is family of layouts with thumb key clusters and adaptive keys.

All layouts are result of ortholinear carpalx optimization, based on reference text containing 5 000 featured articles from English wikipedia.

Typing effort is in 1.005-1.013 range, very close to 1 and way below other layouts including fully optimized ones.

Uno layout

Uno layout is ortholinear carpalx optimization with adaptive keys.

Left adaptive key returns

• m after vowels and consonants other then tscpgwx
• h otherwise

Right adaptive key returns

• n after eaoiu vowels
• o otherwise

Strong fingers contibute most.

Calculation of typing effort and load distribution takes into account 26 letters and space.

Typing effort is 1.009, lower then similar layouts with one adaptive key, like Orthon and Horn.

QMK configuration for ID75 fullgrid ortholinear QMK programmable keyboard is available. It can be compiled locally as qmk compile -kb idobo -km gkbd_uno and flashed in dfu mode. JSON configuration can be viewed in QMK configurator.
