Gaston's Lily58 Keymap

A simple three layers keymap to improve typing performance by reducing cognitive load.

The main characteristics of this keymap are:

  • The QWERTY layer tries to be as normal as possible, without having to use modifiers.
    • The main thumb buttons are spaces when tapped and enable the LOWER layer when held.
    • Vim style arrow keys.
    • Left Control is ESC when tapped.
    • Left and right ALT in case you need different behaviors. (For example, the default Option and readline's Alt behavior in macOS.)
  • The LOWER layer has mostly meta keys.
  • The MOUSE layer controls the mouse.
