+# ErgoDox EZ Code Friendly Qwerty Layout
+
+- This layout aims to balance muscle memory from a typical QWERTY layout
+  with having keys used for software development easily accessible.
+
+- Arrow keys follow VIM convention (the media layer even uses arrow keys for HJKL).
+
+- On the top row only symbols are used (not numbers),
+  it's expected the symbol layer's number-pad layout will be used for numbers.
+
+- Symbols match regular QWERTY.
+  except for '()' which are grouped with other brackets.
+  In their place -/= keys are placed, which almost matches a regular layout.
+
+- Brackets are placed symmetrically along the center edges,
+  if using keys from both sides is inconvenient - the symbol layer has macros
+  at the same key locations to type matching pairs.
+
+- The extra space-bar on the lower-left looks like it's in an obscure location,
+  however using the larger thumb cluster ended up being more of a reach while typing.
+
+- L3 is currently only used if `CFQ_USE_EXPEREMENTAL_LAYER` is defined,
+  this is a layer to place extra functionality and test new keys.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Some optional behavior is configurable without editing the code
+using `CFQ_` prefixed defines which can be set by passing `EXTRAFLAGS` to make.
+
+- `CFQ_USER_KEY1`, `CFQ_USER_KEY2` are used for custom-keys
+  if not set they default to F13, F14.
+- `CFQ_USE_MOMENTARY_LAYER_KEYS` is used to prevent layer keys from toggling when tapped.
+- `CFQ_USE_EXPEREMENTAL_LAYER` defines an extra layer for misc extra keys/macros.
+  Currently it's mostly empty.
+- `CFQ_USE_SWAP_RIGHT_SPACE_ENTER` swap Enter and Space on the right hand thumb cluster.
+  While asymmetric, it makes Enter more easily accessible.
