Left-handed mode #661
Comments
I spose it'd be possible to do a simple full-keyboard reverse for a left-handed mode. But I wouldn't be able to add anything more complicated than that. |
On ME, not the whole keyboard is reversed (mirrored), only the rightmost "toolbar" column is moved to the leftmost column. |
That's not something I'd be able to do, especially since there's no requirement that the keyboards right most column is the toolbar. There are various layouts where the toolbar column is elsewhere, or in the center. |
Ok, so a left handed ME layout can only be implemented as a separate layout? |
Correct. |
I'm a righthander but used left hand mode because having the keys closest to my thumb is more comfortable. I'll have a look at converting some layouts to left hand mode. |
i think it might me a good idea to mark layouts which have the rightmost colums as a toolbar to be lefthand-eligible, and have a lefthand toggle to swap the column. |
Thumbkey is too flexible for that, all it demands is that your layout is a matrix. It lets you put settings and functions keys anywhere you like, in any configuration. So it wouldn't be a good idea to sacrifice that. |
Elsewhere there is discussion about adding tags to variants; I already have a function to flip a standard layout. We might be able to have something that applies that function at runtime if the variant has a particular 'left-available' tag? |
I suppose that now with your function, it'd be easy to persist a setting for If you need help adding a setting for this, lmk. |
No work done on this, but can re-open if someone wants to add it. |
Great thread, I was hoping to find this Issue. |
Sure, as long as its not too complicated. |
