Ergo-L

A Colemak-style layout for French-speaking users.

TL;DR:

  • an optimized Colemak/Qwerty variant for French and English;
  • all common keyboard shortcuts are preserved (like in Colemak);
  • use a dead key on the home row for the most frequent accented characters;
  • use the AltGr layer for programming symbols. Or don’t use it at all, and keep two alt keys.

This layout claims to be better than Bépo for French and better than Qwerty for programming.

Layout

The dead key gives access to all acute accents, grave accents, cedillas, digraphs and quote signs you’ll need to write in proper French:

… which leaves the AltGr layer fully available for any customization you have in mind.

The default layout allows to write in English, French, German and Esperanto easily.

Make your own

You’ll need the latest version of Kalamine to build your own layout:

pip3 install kalamine

And build your custom layout like this:

kalamine MyCustomLayout.yaml
