Intellark
Intellark is an Arabic keyboard layout for intuitive typing in Arabic. It was designed and patented by the Canadian company Intellaren. It is specifically designed for keyboard typists who type using QWERTY-based keyboard layouts.
Intellark mechanics
Unlike linear one-to-one keyboard layouts that typically map a single character to each key, Intellark is a one-to-many keyboard layout that maps one or more characters (Arabic letters and diacritics) to each key on a typical keyboard, where the second and beyond-second characters are produced as a function of key pressed and key timing. If the time difference between presses of the key is within tolerance (e.g., 300 milliseconds or less), the current character is replaced by another one that is of lesser frequency but is logically and intuitively related to the main key character.
Examples
- To type Script error: No such module "Lang"., press t.
- To type Script error: No such module "Lang". as in Script error: No such module "Lang". or Script error: No such module "Lang"., type t twice very rapidly.
- To type Script error: No such module "Lang"., you may either press t three times, or simply press T (i.e., Shift+t). Therefore, holding down the Shift key while pressing a certain key continuously accesses the adjacency list associated with that key in reverse order.
- For Key t's adjacency list, Script error: No such module "Lang". is placed before Script error: No such module "Lang". because of its higher frequency, which is in turn placed before Script error: No such module "Lang". for the same reason.
