Russian layout

[dim talon]

What I did:

• I took the DVORAK layout and the ДИКТОР layout (Both layouts were created for ergonomic reasons according to the same principles)
• I compared them, thus getting pairs of characters with approximately the same frequency of use
• Based on the pairs I received, I translated QWERTY (Since CC is guided by it) into Russian with minor changes

What have I changed and what am I offering:

1. In the CC layout, which can be edited in the Device Manager:

• Replaced one of the spaces with [. This allows you to put another letter in its place on the Russian layout, and in English it makes it easier to write when if you are a programmer
• Replaced ? with KSC_64 (In Windows, this keycode is called OEM_102). It has its own keycode and is not used in CC by default

2. In the English layout:

• Assigned the ? symbol to KSC_64. Thus, now the only difference between writing in English compared to the standard CC layout is the replacement of one of the spaces with [

3. In the Russian layout:

• Replaced № with # (I think it is needed more often)
• Replaced % with @ (Similar)
• Unlike the usual ДИКТОР now Shift + . prints *, not ! (which is already in the digital row)
• Now the key where the apostrophe and tilde are placed in the English layout contains the capital letters Ь and Ъ
• Assigned the щ symbol to KSC_64

What is important to know:

• The main layer now contains all the letters of the Russian alphabet, except the letter ё. However, ъ is only available via Shift
• ., *, ,, ?, - and _ are available on the main layer
• The layout does not include the characters № and %, you will have to switch the layout for them, just as you did before for # and @

I will attach the necessary configuration files below

.klc files with Russian and English layouts, which require the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator program:

The file with my CC2 layout:

I also want to say that Windows is just terrible at removing unnecessary layouts, so if you want to modify mine in any way, make all the changes first, and only then install it.

I partially re-sorted the letters taking into account:

• Prioritization so that alternating letters are placed on different hands
• Prioritization so that the bigrams are located on the same stick as neighbors

You may notice that СТ, ЕН and НО can be entered in one motion, and these are the 3 most common bigrams of the Russian language. In addition, most of the vowels are on the right hand, due to which, during printing, the hands will alternate, which makes printing more efficient

Updated the layout.

List of changes:

• The letter Ш has moved to the top of its key, now it is positioned more conveniently and symmetrically with Щ.
• The soft sign now gives its own uppercase version when you press the shift, I realized that there is no difference between pressing Shift or the second layer, so the hard sign is at the same position on the second layer.
• In the English CC layout, on the second layer, instead of B, there is now \
• Added a lot of characters available via AltGr (Alt + Ctrl), they now at least completely cover all the special characters of the standard English US layout.

In the pictures from top to bottom go: main layer, Shift and AltGr. The second picture shows the same thing for the second CC layer

A library of chords for the Russian language (Top 500 lemmas), in a txt file, their description in a format understandable to humans (\s - space, \d - dublicate)

The library is compiled for the layout of the same thread. It is possible to use it on others, but it may be impossible to hit many chords.
