IPA keyboard layout (Windows)
An IPA keyboard layout for linguists (usable only in Windows)
This is an IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) keyboard layout, made for linguists by linguists. There are very few tools for comprehensive IPA input available, some of those are strictly online, some of them cost money, and others yet are difficult to install and operate. I tried to make a free to use, free to distribute IPA keyboard for linguists to use both at home / in the office, and during fieldwork. So far the project is in its preliminary stages, as I have not received any major feedback, but if it interests other people I will continue developing it. Nevertheless, the input is fully usable, and contains a large number of IPA characters (almost all of them, in fact), and several diacritics. -

clavirio
Learn touch typing without leaving the terminal
A free, open-source typing tutor for the terminal. Progressive lessons, practice modes, real-time stats, and a virtual keyboard with finger hints — for QWERTY, Dvorak, and Colemak. Methodology Research on typing skill suggests that skilled typing relies more on implicit procedural control than on explicit knowledge of key locations. The paper also suggests that the keyboard is represented in terms of its row-and-column structure, not as a memorized list of individual letters. Clavirio follows that idea by teaching the keyboard row by row with the same 7-lesson progression for each row: index pair → middle pair → ring pair → pinky pair → reach pair → full row → row + Shift Each lesson introduces only 2 new keys and uses only characters from earlier lessons. The same progression is used for QWERTY, Dvorak, and Colemak, so the lesson structure stays consistent across layouts. -
