This is an experimental fork of OptiKey with some features and ideas specific to users who want to write code.
There is a low bar to adding features/hacks in the interest of trialling different workflows and seeing what is most helpful. However, the stability this fork is not guaranteed - if you like a feature, open an issue to discuss whether it's appropriate for going back into the core Optikey app.
Core features we have experimented with so far:
- Function keys to quickly switch between Presage prediction for prose (comments etc) and basic prediction for syntax
- Swap between small language-specific dictionaries for syntax word prediction
- Add words to dictionary temporarily (for this session) or permanently
- Add words from clipboard to train Presage
- Allow trigger gamebutton button to be held down for repeat presses
- A plugin to copy text to clipboard via a regex filter
- Add larger SuggestionGrid for situations in which you want more suggestions visible
Keyboard features:
- Reset prediction mid-word for snake_case, CamelCase variable names
- Specific keyboard for VS Code, including lockable shortcut bar, snippets, navigation and more
- Colour styling of keyboard to help find symbols
