Of Keyboard Maps and あおえう

I picked up a new keyboard today. After searching around for a while, I determined that there are no US layout keyboards in my price range in Japan. So, I picked up a manly pink keyboard, instead.

A pink keyboard. Manly pink.

The layout, not surprisingly, is a JP-106 key. Unfortunately, I didn't have a handy layout for Dvorak on a JP-106 (not to be confused with Japanese Dvorak), so I did a little searching and found exactly what I wanted on the intartubes: Dvorak JP-106 Layout. This is especially awesome because there are layouts for both X and the Linux console.

There's only one change that I would make, and that's to make the key to the right of "A" another Control, like God intended.

Making uzbl a little more vim-like

In the process of tweaking my uzbl config to be a little more vi(m)-like, I've made several modifications:

<<, >> (scroll to begin, end) are replaced with the more correct gg and G
b, m (next, previous page) are replaced with vimperator's H and L
 
t opens a new tab in uzbl-tabbed, so I removed it from the config
 
B (add bookmark) replaced with the more correct m
u (load bookmark) replaced with the more correct `
 
y2url is just long; y is the original vi(m) for it anyway
:q should also exit; unfortunately, this happens immediately and I haven't figured out how to require pressing as part of the command

Swapped case on F, fl, and FL to match vimperator better

And finally, since google.com automagically moves the focus to its input area, I commented out the "home page." gh still goes to google, though.

Uzbl-tabbed modifications:

I used to have ^W,h and ^W,l switch between tabs, but haven't gotten this to work correctly in the latest version of uzbl yet. Instead, Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab move between tabs.

And, of course, the colors have been modified. I find the color scheme I've got helps improve readability. It also color codes based on SSL/non-SSL, even with tabs that aren't selected.

My current complete config file can be viewed here.
