TypeMatrix™ 2030 inspired layout

This is a TypeMatrix™ 2030 inspired layout for the ErgoDox EZ. The TypeMatrix is a nice small ergonomic keyboard with a matrix layout, and it provides several nice features like enter, backspace and delete at the center, bigger shift keys and international cut, copy and paste keys.

The idea in this ErgoDox layout is to make it is as close as possible to the TM2030, such that it would be easy to switch between the TM and the ErgoDox. No fancy features have been implemented, as this is intended to be a base for further customization if desired. Some keys have been duplicated in order to accomodate for most people.

Most of the TM2030 features are supported except

automatic window switching (alt-tab key, at the left of the space key)
show desktop key (at the right of the space key)
102/106 modes

Dvorak mode is even supported by pressing Magic+1 (Magic is by default LShift+RShift)

Some keys had to be moved around to fit into the ErgoDox, especially the F1-F12 keys and the arrow keys.

Base Layer

This is the default layer, close to the TM with the following differences:

Top row (with the F-keys) and rightmost column (with application shortcuts) are removed, the corresponding keys are displaced elsewhere.
Bottom-left keys are reorganized on a single row as: Ctrl, fn, Gui, Play, App/Alt.
shuffle and desktop are not supported.
right-shift is moved on ', \ and on the right thumb (the latter is actually the only true right-shift, and must be used in the Magic key combination).
right-ctrl is moved on End.
] is moved in place of the dash (-).
Dash (-) and = are moved on bottom right row.
Arrows and PgUp/PgDn are moved on the thumbs.

Layer Switching

Use num to toggle the Numeric Layer.
Hold fn to temporarily activate the Numeric & Fn Layers.

As on the original TM 2030, when num layer is activated, holding fn disables it but enables the other fn keys.

Dvorak Layer

Same as Layer 0 but with Dvorak layout, to use with QWERTY OS layout.

Enable Dvorak layout with Magic+1 (LShift+RShift+1), disable with Magic-0.

The middle (green) led indicates when the Dvorak layer is activated.

Numeric Layer

Numeric layer close to the TM when toggling num, with the following differences:

Numpad is displaced by 1 to the top left.
Arrows are displaced by 1 to the left.
Provides access to F1-F12, caps-lock and num-lock.

The numeric layer is indicated with the left (red) led. Caps-lock is indicated with the right (blue) led.

Fn Layer

Activated simultaneously with the Numeric layer when holding the fn key. As on the TM, it provides access to the following features:

cut, copy and paste
volume up, volume down and mute — as opposed to the TM, these are only on left hand
previous track and next track
calculator, mail and browser home
insert, power, sleep, wake, print screen, scroll-lock and pause

Note: the eject key does not work due to jackhumbert/qmk_firmware#82
