xarty is a keyboard layout aimed for typing English in a comfortable and quick manner, which doesn't take the compatibility to other languages and shortcut friendliness into account.<br>
Xarty is a keyboard layout aimed for typing English in a comfortable and quick manner, which doesn't take the compatibility to other languages and shortcut friendliness into account.<br>
<br>
The key placement is heavily based on [first20hours/google-10000-english](https://github.com/first20hours/google-10000-english).

## Downloads
[PKL](https://github.com/CarrieForle/really-optimized-english/releases/latest/download/xarty.zip)<br>
(layout installer coming soon)
See [Releases](https://github.com/CarrieForle/xarty/releases).

## Installing
You need to download the latest version of [Portable Keyboard Layout](https://github.com/Portable-Keyboard-Layout/Portable-Keyboard-Layout) if you haven't. Extract `xarty.zip` and put the extracted folder to `/layouts/` in PKL. Open `pkl.ini` in PKL and change to the line `layout = xarty`.
See [Wiki](https://github.com/CarrieForle/xarty/wiki/How-to-install).

## Why is the layout *like this?*
1. Typing with pinkies is **awful**, so this is a six-finger (index, middle, ring) dominant layout.
