NUS (NeoUS Keyboard Layout)

NUS Changes/ToDo (Crossed out equals done)

  • Add Left Mod4, necessary since Mod4 enables arrow keys and numpad
  • Do not allow Mod4+Mod4 toggle since this leads to problems
  • Switch \ and / since LMod3+/ is used more often and it would be more convenient to have them closer
  • Write Windows driver for NUS
  • Write driver for Linux console
  • \ (RMod3) becomes RMod4
  • RCTRL becomes RMod4
  • RALT becomes RMod3
  • Lock of Mod4 is only LShift+CapsLock+Tab
  • Take care / correct ssharp in top row
  • Add FN lock

Installation (Linux, Ubuntu)
