Dagens Wiki – Keyboard Layouts
Posted by AoOs | Filed under Dagens Wiki
På grund af tidsmangel når jeg ikke at skrive en gennemført “Dagens Wiki” i dag. Men I skal ikke snydes for at lære noget.
Så i stedet rammer jeg jer med nogle links indenfor Keyboard Layouts og nogle direkte engelske citationer.
Hurtig oversigt:
Det mest almindelige keyboard layout nu til dags er QWERTY, men engang blev Dvorak opfundet pga. det ville være mere ergonomisk og hurtigere at skrive på.
QWERTY is the most common modern-day keyboard layout on English-language computer and typewriter keyboards. It takes its name from the first six characters seen in the far left of the keyboard’s top first row of letters. The QWERTY design was patented by Christopher Sholes in 1874 and sold to Remington in the same year, when it first appeared in typewriters.
The Dvorak Simplified Keyboard is a keyboard layout patented in 1936 by Dr. August Dvorak, an educational psychologist and professor of education at the University of Washington in Seattle, and William Dealey as an alternative to the more common QWERTY layout. It has also been called the Simplified Keyboard or American Simplified Keyboard but is commonly known as the Dvorak keyboard or Dvorak layout.
Dvorak studied letter frequencies and the physiology of people’s hands and created a layout to adhere to these principles:
- • Letters should be typed by alternating between hands.
- • For maximum speed and efficiency, the most common letters and digraphs should be the easiest to type. This means that they should be on the home row [midterste række], which is where the fingers rest, and under the strongest fingers.
- • The least common letters should be on the bottom row, which is the hardest row to reach.
The right hand should do more of the typing, because most people are right-handed.- • Digraphs should not be typed with adjacent fingers.
- • Stroking should generally move from the edges of the board to the middle. An observation of this principle is that, for many people, when tapping fingers on a table, it is easier going from little finger to index than vice versa. This motion on a keyboard is called inboard stroke flow.
