Preonic Double Spacebar HHKB layout mainly for programming

This layout is highly curated to my needs and what I like. I mainly use it for programming in macOS, but also gaming in Windows.

The main concept behind every key position is to be able to maximize how many things I can do without lifting my hands from the home row.

Layers

Base

• Ctrl/Cmd is on the Caps Lock place (HHKB like)
• Enter and Space are in the double space bar
• Normal arrows position (not vim-like)
• Left Shift on hold - Caps Lock Toggle on tap
• Vertical scroll on encoder

Gaming

• Switched Enter and Space to reach more easily when gaming
• Left Shift doesn't have Caps Lock toggle
• ` is in Ctrl space, mainly used for Push To Talk in games

Lower

• Main programming symbols with right hand
• Media controls with left hand
• Full F1..F12 Function keys on number row
• Ctrl + C | Ctrl + Z Macros to avoid having to constantly press encoder
• Ctrl + Tab | Ctrl + Shift + Tab on encoder

Raise

• Arrow keys on JKLI
• Home End PgUp PgDown on M,.Up
• Numbers on asdfgqwert
• Del on BackSpace
• Horizontal scroll on encoder

Config

• Swap Ctrl and GUI on H so I have Cmd next to KC_A when on MacOS
• Unswap Ctrl and GUI on G so I have Ctrl next to KC_A when on Windows
• J switches to BASE layer
• K switches to GAMING layer
• Default Config for Preonic
