hi everyone. I have a small laptop without a 10-key and i have a lot of studying I need to complete. in this studying, i'll need to do lots of numbers and math stuff mostly in spreadsheets but also will need to type out lots of verbal things as well.
i'm incredibly lazy and like to minimize how far i have to move my hands and fingers.
is there a way I can set up a custom math keyboard layout? i want to put 1234567890 on home row, (so 1234 would be ASDF, etc.).... and then i want to put the 4 main math operators ( + - * / ) where the QWER spots are...... etc. also, if I wanted to put the ^ sign, would that create further complications since that normally involves a modifier key (shift)?...... for that matter, I suppose on my small keyboard w/out the 10-key, the + sign also requires a modifier.......
but that's not all...... i also want to be able to toggle in between this custom layout and my normal layout with ease.
I'm not sure if this is possible. you guys have been so helpful in the past (thanks for that), i figure I'll give it a try asking.
