Suggestion: second AltGr key (CapsLock)
getreu opened this issue · 4 comments
To improve ergonomics, a second [AltGr] key is very handy. I tried some alternatives and found the best solution is to map the [CapsLock] key to the [AltGr] function. I mapped the original [CapsLock] function to [Shift left]-[Shift right]. The mapping for Linux and Windows is described in this blogs. My suggestion is to include this mapping in UltimateKeys.
Off topic: btw: I like your choice for õ and ã a lot!
I have now made a version where 'Caps Lock' is also assigned to 'Right Alt' (in AutoHotkey).

Thank you. I use it already for a year or so and got used to it very quickly. It relieves the right hand and especially the right thumb from unhealthy twists.
I am going to publish a new release, with the additional modified Caps Lock as Right Alt (AltGr) and Left Shift + Right Shift to toggle the Caps Lock state.
Plus, I consider putting the capital Eszett (ẞ) on the main layout too (see this concept of 2021-10-26).
If you like, I can put your name (Jens Getreu) in the release notes...
These changes :
- capital Eszett (ẞ) : published in both the latest releases and testing releases,
- 'Caps Lock' also assigned to 'Right Alt' : published in the latest testing releases.
