Abby's Left Hand Modifiers Dictionary

Overview

Abby's Left Hand Modifiers Dictionary

Design

This dictionary is inspired by and can essentially be seen as a combination of Emily's Modifiers and Achim Siebert's Left Hand Modifier Keys. Essentially, it allows every shortcut to be typed in two strokes and using only the left hand. As such, only the following keys are used:

Key layout

In some combinations, the asterisk key is used. This requires the asterisk key to be pressed using the left hand, which should be fine on most hobbyist writers but may be a problem on some professional writers.

Modifiers

The first of the two strokes in each combination is used to specify the modifier keys that should be pressed. It is also possible to not press any modifier keys, since some applications have shortcuts that are activated by just a single keypress.

Single modifier keys

Patterns for single modifier keys.

Stroke Modifier Explanation
Control ControL
Alt ALT (reversed)
Shift SHift
Super Purely positional, no phonetic basis

Modifier key combinations

The pattern for the alt + shift combination is SHA.

Stroke Modifiers
Alt + Shift

Combinations using control (but not super) are formed using KHR for control and adding A for alt and S for shift.

Stroke Modifiers
Ctrl + Alt
Ctrl + Shift
Ctrl + Alt + Shift

Combinations using super and fromed using KPWR for super and adding H for control, A for alt, and S for shift.

Stroke Modifiers
Ctrl + Super
Alt + Super
Ctrl + Alt + Super
Shift + Super
Ctrl + Shift + Super
Alt + Shift + Super
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Super

The pattern for no modifier keys is TKPWHR. This presses a key alone without any modifier keys.

Stroke Modifiers
None

Keys

The second of the two strokes in each combination specifies what key to press along with the modifiers (if any) selected above.

Letters

The patterns for letter keys are the same as the fingerspelling pattern for that letter (without the asterisk), except for E, I, and U which have been given special patterns so they fit on the left hand. (Using E, EU, and U for E, I, and U still work, but are not shown below.)

When R is held in addition to the pattern for any number 1-12, the corresponding function key will be used.

Numpad

When * is held in addition to the pattern for any number, the number key on the numpad will instead be used.

Holding down * in addition to the stroke for any arrow key will cause the keys to act as page up, page down, home, and end.

Only modifiers

The pattern TPHO ("no") allows only modifier keys to be pressed, with no other keys included.

Stroke Key
None

Cancel

If you pressed a modifier key pattern on accident, you can use SKPH to cancel it.

Stroke Key
Cancel

Examples

Strokes Keys Pressed Use
Ctrl + A Select all (Windows or Linux)
Super + A Select all (Mac)
Alt + F4 Close window (Windows or Linux)
Ctrl + Alt + T Open terminal (Linux)
