Summary

Adds a Kinesis Advantage2 keyboard layout for TheCore Lite.

Hand position shifts one column right (index on F instead of D), with edge keys remapping to arrow keys and Delete to avoid crossing the keyboard split. Camera moves to IJKL to free arrow keys for abilities.

See KinesisAdvantage2/README.md for full documentation.

Files

  • TheCore Lite Kinesis.SC2Hotkeys - Transformed hotkey file
  • transform.py - Script to regenerate from source
  • karabiner_kinesis_sc2.json / autohotkey_kinesis_sc2.ahk - OS-level remapping
  • README.md - Installation and usage docs

Note: This includes the patch 5.0.14 ability updates from #55 as well as adding the Camera move hotkeys to the system, as Left and Right need to be used for ability mappings. See that PR for more explanation of those changes.

Add Z to the list of unbound keys and suggest remapping it to Shift
for easier modifier access.
