Minifan layout

Compiled for: Dvorak²

This file details the compile version #define BASE_DVORAK_DESCRAMBLE__ALT_BASE which has a special version of Dvorak so that you can type Dvorak on a computer already set to do Dvorak layout re-mapping.

This can be useful on for example a laptop, for which the build-in keyboard should to be in Dvorak.

 This layer input results in the same as normal Dvorak if computer side Dvorak remapping is occuring.

 This layer input results in the same as regular Dvorak _..._NSY layer, if computer side Dvorak remapping
 is occuring. Only shown what changes:

          [{    ]}    /?           =+   |   +         ?     {     }                  // row 2, result

Special feature: 'Descramble' mode

This is an option to take care of typing normally on a computer already set to Dvorak ('descramble' mode.)

Activation: go to _RAR layer, than touch what is space bar on the BASE layer (the key just right from the middle on the first row). This cycles through the modes.

  ⮚ When the left led is white: normal mode.
  ⮚ Right led white: full descramble mode (Linux descrambled Unicode input).
  ⮚ Middle led white: half descramble mode, with normal Unicode input system.

With the middle led set to white, you can take advantage of a Unicode input mode that works on your system, if it is the same when the computer is set to Dvorak or not (see _RAR layer for Unicode input encoding selection). This more or less means there is one more Unicode encoding option than already standard in QMK: 'descrambled' version for Linux (Shift-Control-U HEX) encoding, for use on a computer already set to Dvorak.

To test it, (in Debian/Linux) go to a terminal in X and type (normal user)

    > setxkbmap -layout us -variant dvorak

Undo:

    > setxkbmap -layout us

Unicode on Windos operating system may require to install something special.
