Typography Keyboard Layout

[Xenonsoft]

Smashing Magazine commissioned Ilya Birman to develop an English version of the very well received Russian Typography Keyboard Layout to work with the English language.

It's now launched, I've just installed it and first thoughts seem good.

Not something i've ever needed/wanted really. that must make me a "bad" designer.

 

[Xenonsoft]

Not at all. I quite like it, although won't use it too much.

 

[Harry]

Looks pretty sweet actually, shame I wouldn't get to use it as you have to encode all those anyway

 

[Xenonsoft]

I think if you put it into the display of the dreamweaver editor it puts the code in. Might not be the best way of doing it though.

 

[Harry]

Eugh but that would mean using Dreamweaver

 

[Xenonsoft]

Haha, it'll do for me, can't afford anything else

 

[Harry]

Can't afford anything other than an overpriced program? How about .:: NOTEPAD++ ::.?? Total cost of £000.00.

Dreamweaver came in the Web Premium bundle. Notepad++ looks no better than the dreamweaver code editor, is there any real difference?

 

[Harry]

Yeah, it's not Dreamweaver

DW code view is okay, but Notepad++ is (IMO) a better environment as it's just pure coding. No OTT menus/options/unnecessary rubbish.

Cool stuff. I'll definitely stick with what I have, but glad to see there's competition in the market.
