Happy New Year, everybody! \u00a0Super user Tamara<\/a>\u00a0figured out how to adapt a program called KeyRemap4MacBook to make ASETNIOP immediately available for the Apple MacBook – if you’re interested in setting it up, I’ve attached her instructions below. \u00a0You’ll need the xml file located here (private.xml<\/a>) and the autocorrect that you’ve encountered in the tutorial won’t be active, but it’s a great way to go head and start using ASETNIOP (or Chordvak or Chordmak) right away. \u00a0Any discussion is welcome in the comments, and a very sincere thanks to Tamara for putting this together.<\/p>\n

Download and install KeyRemap4MacBook, you can find it here:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/pqrs.org\/macosx\/keyremap4macbook\/<\/a><\/p>\n

You can find it in the System Preferences pane after installation. Now\u00a0enter the menu. You see 4 tabs. Choose the last one, “misc&\u00a0uninstall”. Click “open private.xml”. Swap that for the one in this\u00a0email. Feel free to edit it and play around, it’s not hard. Now go\u00a0back to the KeyRemap4MacBook menu and choose the first tab, “Change\u00a0Key”. Click the “Reload Xml” button on the right. Now you should see\u00a0the little asetniop heading. Expand it and enable whatever keysets you\u00a0want. That’s it, you’re done.<\/p>\n

To make typing a little easier I increased the [Simultaneous\u00a0Keypresses] Delay Threshold in the “Key Repeat” tab to 300 ms. This\u00a0means you don’t have to press the keys at exactly the same moment. It\u00a0also means you can’t type too fast or things will get messed up. See\u00a0what fits you and change it when you get used to asetniop typing.<\/p>\n

A little explanation for the options under asetniop:<\/p>\n

Chords: this enables the chords of the qwert-uiop keys. It also makes\u00a0the space bar & left cmd key into an enter key when pressed\u00a0simultaneously.<\/p>\n

qwer-uiop to aset-niop: this does exactly what it says, it makes the\u00a0top row of letters into the asetniop keyboard. I also changed the t,y,\u00a0f,g,h and j keys into some missing interpunction signs for easy\u00a0reaching.<\/p>\n

cmd to shift: this changes around a few of the functional keys on the\u00a0left side of your keyboard. I found reaching for the c key to shift\u00a0and enter very impractical and decided to use the cmd key instead. But\u00a0I use that one too, so I made the option key into a cmd and the fn key\u00a0into an option key (I never ever use the fn key). If you find this\u00a0impractical, or want it differently, play around with private.xml.<\/p>\n

cmd to C: this is here purely for practicing with the asetniop web\u00a0version. As I said, I find reaching for the c key impractical. So I\u00a0made the cmd key into a c and made the same shifts as above for the\u00a0other functional keys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
