Engrammer Alternatives

engrammer reviews and mentions

• [video] Symbol Layer in "Glorious Engrammer" keymap for Glove80 keyboard (Programming + Vim)

  The balance emerged over time through experimentation and real-world use (i.e. it wasn't necessarily a formal design goal that I set out with) but it appears to do quite well if we consider the various measures of symbol frequencies in programming along with the fact that ,.-; are centrally located in my base layer's Engrammer layout for convenient access.

  Have you considered Arno's Engram 2.0 layout or my programmer-friendly variant thereof? Arno Klein used Colemak for 10 years before inventing Engram. Check out the "Why a new key layout?" section for his rationale & motivation that led him to venture beyond Colemak, as well as the design philosophy that sets Engram apart from other layouts. His experience might best answer your question since he has used both layouts.

  On leaving QWERTY, you might also consider Arno's Engram 2.0 layout, which places all punctuation in the central columns so that your 8 touch typing fingers go straight up and down, effectively staying in their columns all the time. I've used Engram exclusively since the past 2 years (after 6 months of BEAKL-15, 16 years of Dvorak, and 6 years of QWERTY) and I've written about my experience with it here. Moreover, if you prefer standard shifted pairs (e.g. so quotes don't shift into parentheses), I've created a programmer-friendly variant called the "Engrammer" layout that helps maintain cross-proficiency with standard keyboards.

• Best layout for the future

  So far I've done some research and have particularly liked Arno's Engram and Halmak. As good as both of those are, they are not popular at all, especially compared to Colemak (normal or DH), but are some of the best. I do not mind the number keys (and the symbols on them) of QWERTY so I'd like to retain that, but I have played around on keyboard editors for a bit and am confident that I can customise a layout to retain that pretty easily (somewhat like Engrammer).
