This article details the journey of creating a custom one-handed keymap, called the KURTY Single-Handed Half-Board Keymap, for efficient writing. Originally intending to evaluate existing tools, the author found that designing a unique keyboard setup was simpler and more effective. The KURTY keymap employs a system of color-coded layers and modifiers to optimize a standard QWERTY keyboard for one-handed touch typing. The author provides guidelines on how readers can replicate this keymap on their own computers, emphasizing its accessibility and ease of use.
The KURTY Single-Handed Half-Board Keymap was designed to provide a custom solution for one-handed typing, showcasing the effectiveness of designing tailored assistive technologies.
This article outlines how I created the KURTY keymap, which transforms a traditional two-handed keyboard into a flexible tool for efficient single-handed touch typing.
