Palantype DE
=======================
See [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md).
This is a complete rework of the Possum Palantype steno system for efficient
use with the German language.
Its intended use is with a keyboard, not an actual Palantype machine.
Each finger operates three keys: Home row, top and bottom.
The thumbs are exceptions, they operate four keys.
There is no simultaneous pressing of multiple keys with one finger.
Like the original Palantype, this adaption is compatible with
Qwerty-keyboards as long as they support N-key roll-over (NKRO).
The optimal experience is to be expected with a keyboard that allows full use of the thumbs.
`Palantype DE` relies on four thumb keys.
Here are examples for such a keyboard:
* [Keyboardio Model 100](https://shop.keyboard.io/products/model-100)
* [Keyboardio Atreus](https://shop.keyboard.io/collections/keyboardio-atreus/products/keyboardio-atreus)
* [ZSA Moonlander Mark I](https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/)
* [Ergodox EZ](https://ergodox-ez.com/)
* [YAEMK](https://karlk90.github.io/yaemk-split-kb/)
How to use
======================
Quick start
----------------------
Head over to [palantype.com](https://palantype.com) to get started right away in
the browser.
Offline use with Plover
----------------------
This is a plugin for the software Plover from
[The Open Steno Project](http://www.openstenoproject.org/).
Download the
[latest version of Plover](https://github.com/openstenoproject/plover/releases/tag/v4.0.0.dev10).
Plover supports plugins from v4.0.0 on.
After installing this plugin, you need to turn on Palantype in Plover:
1. In Plover's configuration, go to the ``Systems`` tab, and change the active system to ``Palantype DE``.
2. In Plover's machine tab, select ``keyboard``.
Run in browser
----------------------
Currently, only the tutorial is implemented at [palantype.com](https://palantype.com).
Learning to type requires a lot of practice,
therefore it is recommended starting there in any case.
In future, [palantype.com](https://palantype.com) will also offer
an on-line text editor for steno typing.
Current state
=====================
The dictionary contains almost 2,000,000 words of the German language.
There are built-in already some essential features for real-life steno typing:
* fingerspelling
* command keys (e.g. arrow keys, home, end, ...)
* numbers
* special keys
* plover commands (e.g. retroactively capitalize)
These features are implemented in the dictionary files
* `palantype-DE-extra.json`, and
* `palantype-DE-numbers.json`.
Development
=====================
Source code
-------------------------
You can find all relevant code on Github:
* The plover plugin [plover-palantype-DE](https://github.com/rubenmoor/palantype_DE)
* The palantype Haskell library [mypalantype](https://github.com/rubenmoor/my-palantype)
* [Palantype tools](https://github.com/rubenmoor/palantype-tools), to create your own palantype-style steno system
* The code of the project home page with all the tutorials [Palantype.com codebase](https://github.com/rubenmoor/learn-palantype)
You can get an overview of what I am working on, on the [Kanban board of the project](https://github.com/users/rubenmoor/projects/2).
Feel free to post issues on any of those repositories with questions and/or feedback.
Getting your hands dirty
--------------------------
Test the plugin locally
$ plover -s plover_plugins install -e .
$ plover
Publish new version
$ nix-shell
Follow the instructions inside the nix shell.
