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