Full Keyboard

Looking for F1-F12? Click here.

To do: Figure out how to output the Windows key and that key to the left of Right Control. AutoHotkey calls it the "AppsKey" but the Learn Plover list isn't super clear...




Tab




12U

{^\t^}

From the Github, "This translation presses the tab key without any other spacing. It can be undone with the asterisk key." 

Hint: Add the asterisk for Shift+Tab. See Windows Control.






Caps Lock


1KU

{#Caps_Lock}

I still prefer SPWHR-FRPB for {MODE:CAPS} instead of {#Caps_Lock}, but here you go.






Space




SP (was: S-P)

{#Space}

Inserts a space. 

SP outputs "SP" in the Magnum dictionary but you can fingerspell two letters, right? 






Backspace




SP*

{#BackSpace}

Just like hitting Backspace on QWERTY. You'll want to make use of the number bar for the "Repeat previous stroke" stroke.






.

Period




P-P (was: TP-PL)

{.}
  • No space before
  • Space after
  • Next word is capitalized






.

Period




TP-PL

{^.^}{-|}
  • No space before
  • No space after
  • Next word is capitalized 
I don't know why this was the default Plover stroke for a period when P-P is so much easier, but I'm putting it to good use here.







Comma


W-B (was: KW-BG)

{,}
  • No space before
  • Space after
  • Next word is not capitalized






,

Comma


#W-B

{,}{^}
  • No space before
  • No space after
  • Next word is not capitalized
Number bar acts as glue. I suppose you'd use this one for numbers, but I know Stan has some funky stroke for that.






?

Question mark




H-F

{?}
  • No space before
  • Space after
  • Next word is capitalized. 
Plover default, and better than the Magnum stroke.






!

Exclamation point

{!}
  • No space before
  • Space after

KPRAOT

{^=^}
  • No space before
  • No space after
  • Next word is not capitalized
Of the two keys that you hit with your pinky finger on QWERTY, I'm giving this pinky stroke to the equals sign. The hyphen is more common and is given an easier, one-handed stroke.






+

Plus sign


K3R509

{^+^}
  • No space before
  • No space after
  • Next word is not capitalized
The number bar acts as the Shift key on QWERTY.

  • Next word is not capitalized






\

Backslash




KPRAOD (was: SPWHRAERB)

{^\^}
  • No space before
  • No space after

This puts the Backslash on top of Slash, just like QWERTY.

The number bar acts as the Shift key on QWERTY (just like ! to *).







Less than sign


KPRAOB (was: AEPBGT)

{^<^}
  • No space before
  • No space after
  • Next word is not capitalized
The right hand feels like it's hitting the same key on QWERTY.

  • No space after
  • Carry capitalization
The right hand feels like it's hitting the same key on QWERTY. (At least for me!)

  • Carry capitalization
The "left" bracket is still on the left in this series.






]

Close bracket




KPRAOLG (was: PWR*BGT)

{^~|]}{>}
  • No space before
  • Space after
  • Next word is not capitalized
The "right" bracket is still on the right in this series.

I'm adding the {>} to lowercase the next word just because of my work.






{

Open curly bracket




K3R507B (was: TPR-BGT)

\{{^}
  • Space before
  • No space after
  • Next word is not capitalized
The "left" curly bracket is still on the left in this series, and the number bar acts as the Shift key on QWERTY.

K3R508G (was: TPR*BGT)

{^~|\}}
  • No space before

-

Hyphen-minus




EGS (was: H-PB)

{^-^}
  • No space before
  • No space after
  • Next word is not capitalized
No pattern or symmetry here; it's just an easy stroke, because it's so common.






_

Underscore




#EGS

{^_^}
  • No space before
  • No space after
  • Next word is not capitalized
The number bar acts as the Shift key on QWERTY.






--

Em dash 


 


#*EGS (was: TK-RB)

--
  • Space before
  • Space after
  • Next word is not capitalized

Basically two hyphens with spaces (which will convert in Word unless you disable). I don't really use it, though, so it gets the "hardest" version of the stroke, having both the number bar and the asterisk.

Here's a nice page on its usage.






;

Semicolon




KPRAOFR (was: SKWR*RBGS)

{;}
  • No space before
  • Space after
  • Next word is not capitalized






:

Colon




KPRAO*F (was: STPH-FPLT)

{:}{-|}
  • No space before
  • Space after
  • Next word is capitalized
This is an exception to the "number bar means Shift" rule, but that's because uppercase and lowercase follow colons equally, and I wanted the strokes to make sense. See below.






:

Colon




KPRAO*R

{^:}
  • No space before
  • Space after
  • Next word is not capitalized
Get it? The *R is below *F, so lowercase.






:

Colon




K3R50*6R (was: KHR-PB)

{^:^}
  • No space before
  • No space after
  • Next word is not capitalized
Used to write clock times and... that's it, I guess. At least it's consistent with the other colon strokes and the "number bar means Shift" rule.






'

Open single quote




KPRAOF

{~|'^}
  • Space before
  • No space after
  • Carry capitalization
Write things like '70.






'

Close single quote




KPRAOR

{^~|'}{>}
  • No space before
  • Space after
  • Next word is not capitalized
Add an apostrophe at the end, like Chris'.






"

Open double quote, carry capitalization




KPRAOFP

{~|"^}
  • Space before
  • No space after
  • Carry capitalization






"

Open double quote, capitalize next




K3R5067

{~|"^}{-|}
  • Space before
  • No space after
  • Next word is capitalized
The number bar acts as the Shift key on QWERTY.






"

Close double quote, carry capitalization




KPRAORB

{^~|"}
  • No space before
  • Space after
  • Carry capitalization


For quote strokes that "do more," check out Text Formatting.




Up




KPRAOEFP

{#Up}

For the shapes of the arrow keys, imagine a 2x2 cube. Think Lumines.





Right




KPRAOEPB

{#Right}






Down




KPRAOERB

{#Down}






Left




KPRAOEFR

{#Left}






Insert




KPRAOEF

{#Insert}

For Insert, Home, Page Up, Delete, End, and Page Down, these next six strokes should feel just like hitting the keys in QWERTY.






Home




KPRAOEP

{#Home}






Page Up




KPRAOEL

{#Page_Up}






Delete




KPRAOER

{#Delete}





End




KPRAOEB

{#End}






Page Down




KPRAOEG

{#Page_Down}






Num Lock




KPRAOET

{#Num_Lock}

Num Lock is to the right of Page Up on QWERTY, so this made sense.





Print Screen




KPRAOES

{#Print}

Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause were leftovers that happened to fit perfectly in this space.





Scroll Lock




KPRAOED

{#Scroll_Lock}





Pause




KPRAOEZ

{#Pause}






Escape




KPRAOETSDZ

{#Escape}

Made intentionally hard to stroke... and, well, it's the only way I could nicely fit it in this space. You're hitting these four keys with your pinky finger.
