About DreyMaR's
DreyMaR's Big Bag of Kbd Tricks is a website collecting keyboard layout tips, modifications and tools. It is centered on the Colemak layout but states that many of its mods and tools can be used with other layouts, including QWERTY. The site covers layers, ergonomic modifications, layout variants, learning and other typing tricks, with platform-specific information boxes that change when a platform icon is selected. Implementation downloads are offered through repositories such as XKB/Linux and EPKL/Windows, and the right download depends on the user's platform or operating system.
