What exciting times, I just ordered all parts for my very first custom keyboard, it is going to be corne wireless with 36 keys and these little screens. Hope my soldering skills will be good enough.
I now have started to read a lot about layouts and the more I read the more confused I get. Dvorak, querty…layers…any tips for an absolute beginner who wants to improve discipline with typing texts and be faster with the new little thing? Any websites you recommend? Thanks
The qmk documentation I found to be very helpful. Here is the link to its explanation of [layers](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature layers).
À layer works exactly like shift does, where you get access to a new set of characters. In the case of shift if give you access to upper case letters. With layers you can put numbers and symbol on the layer.
Qwerty is a keyboard layout, probably the one you’ve used your whole life if you live in NA. Dvorak is an alternative layout that aims to make typing more comfortable. There’s a whole rabbit hole there if you want to explore that but it’s very different from the idea of layers.
I hope this helps clear it up for you and if you have any other questions about this! And good luck with your new keyboard :)
