   1 # bredfield's 4x12 Ortho Keymap
   2
   3 ## Overview
   4 This is the layout that I use for all 4x12 boards, for writing and programming.
   5
   6 - Works with planck or split style boards
   7 - Split spacebar; left position is backspace, which frees up the typical key for minus/undersc
   8 - Targets mac os; linux variant to come
   9 - Navigation layer is triggered via the `;` key, allowing for single-hand navigation without leaving the home row
  10 - Brackets are located on the home row on raise, which is comfortable when programming
  11 - Reduced mod / layer tap use, to avoid input lag
  12 - LEDs are overrated
