## Layer 0: QWERTY - `_QW`

Standard QWERTY layout, with four QMK features:

- The `Menu` key has been replaced by `MO(_FW)`, which moves to my Windows Fn layer when held.
- The Right `GUI` key has been replaced with a `MO(_MA)` key, which moves to the Macro layer when held.
- The `Caps Lock` key has been replaced with a dual function `LT()` key, which opens the Windows Fn layer when held, and is `Caps Lock` when tapped
- The Left `Control` key has been replaced with a `MT(MOD_CTRL, KC_GRV)` key, which is <code>&#96; ~</code> when tapped and `Ctrl` when held.

## Layer 1: Hardware Dvorak - `_DV`

### Accessed by holding either `Fn` and tapping `/?` key, then tapping `2@`.

A hardware-based Dvorak Simplified layout. At my weekend job, I use a shared computer that runs MacOS Sierra, in US QWERTY layout. In this layer, I can leave the system in QWERTY, plug my keyboard in, and still type in Dvorak.

## Layer 2: Hardware Colemak `_CM`

### Accessed by holding either `Fn` and tapping `/?` key, then tapping `3#`.

A hardware-based Colemak layout. Been thinking of trying it, so it's here.
