# 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.
The this layout is a normalized qwerty,
with some configurable keys left thumb cluster so you can use it more as needed.
- Arrow keys follow VIM convention.
2017-09-30 12:04:08 +02:00
- 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 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.

## 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_KEY0`
(0..8) are used for custom-keys
- `CFQ_USE_MOMENTARY_LAYER_KEYS`
is used to prevent layer keys from toggling when tapped.
- `CFQ_USE_SHIFT_QUOTES`
an optional handy shortcut for writing quotes that inserts the
cursor between the quotation marks.
Holding LShift, then RShift types: "" (then presses left).
Holding RShift, then LShift types: '' (then presses left).
- `CFQ_WORD_[A-Z]`
defines can bind a key to an entire user defined word.
2017-09-30 12:04:08 +02:00
- `CFQ_USE_80_KEYS`
enables 80 key layout, none of the extra keys are bound,
they need to be set with defines: `CFQ_USER_K80_L0K0` .. `CFQ_USER_K80_L3K4`.
Where `L#` is the layer and `K#` is the key.

## Keymap 3: User Defined Words & Numbers
Activate by holding L1 & L2.
This is for assigning whole words to single keys.
You can define the arguments (which must be quoted) using: `CFQ_WORD_[A-Z]`
eg: `-DCFQ_WORD_E=\"my@email.com\"`
Notes:
- Numbers are included on this layer since some applications differentiate
between numbers top row and keypad.
