This Fork
Fork or the original lydell/spacefn-win
* upgrade dual library in submodule to latest version
* some tweaks with memory (unclear if useful)
* removed inclusion of dual/defaults so not every single key is a combo key. seems to perform better.
* defaults to CHTN for directions which are respectively IJKL in dvorak
Overview
spacefn-win is a Windows implementation of the SpaceFN keyboard layout by spiceBar. It is an AutoHotkey script.
I'm looking for a maintainer. I have moved away from Windows to Linux, and therefore do not use AutoHotkey anymore. If you like spacefn-win and would like to maintain it, please contact me.
Installation
There are two different ways to go.
The simplest option is to download the compiled file spacefn-win.exe and run it. No installation required.
The other option is to install AutoHotkey 1.1.13.00+ (if you haven't already), download the whole project and run the spacefn-win.ahk file using AutoHotkey. Use this option if you're already using AutoHotkey or want to customize the layout.
Either way, put a shortcut to spacefn-win.{ahk,exe} in the Autostart directory to activate the layout automatically when you log in to your computer. (It won't work in the login screen.)
Download notes
The stand-alone exe file as well as a zip of the project can be found under releases. If you download the zip file, you must also download dual, and put the contents of it in the Lib/dual directory.
git users might want to run git clone https://github.com/lydell/spacefn-win.git
(to download the
whole project), followed by git submodule init
and git submodule update
(to download dual).
Command-line options
The script accepts any number of command line options of the form option=value
. The following
options are available:
swap_backtick_escape
:true
orfalse
(default)mode
:ijkl
(default),ijkl2
,hjkl
orwasd
delay
,timeout
anddoublePress
: Integer (advanced)
Examples:
autohotkey spacefn-win.ahk delay=70 swap_backtick_escape=true
spacefn-win.exe delay=70 swap_backtick_escape=true
Notes
The script assumes that you're using the en-US QWERTY layout. If you're using some other layout, you unfortunately might have to modify the script. It should be pretty straight-forward, though. Don't hesitate to ask for help with this, if needed. If you find a way to make the script layout-agnostic, please tell me!
The SpaceFN post mentions a gaming mode. As far as know, using AHK and games at the same time is not such a good idea.
