Typematrix EZR-2030

Keyboard map updated 2011-05-11

I've made a custom keyboard layout based on Svorak (Swedish Dvorak).

  • Characters of frequent use in programming are moved to more convenient places.
  • Characters ellipsis (…), en-dash (–) and em-space ( ), which are useful when making user interfaces are added.
  • Dead keys for háček (ˇ) and ring (°) are added so I can type in Czech without switching keyboard layout. I use them a lot for my deck of 6660 cards of Czech words (updated 43) in Anki, and they work great. To se mi líbí!
  • The Typematrix version of the layout moves alt gr to page up so it can conveniently be used with the right thumb.

To change keyboard layout with alt gr in the usual place:
setxkbmap se dvorak2

To change keyboard layout for Typematrix and move alt gr to page up for Typematrix:
setxkbmap se typematrix
