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. shuffleanddesktopare not supported.right-shiftis moved on',\and on the right thumb (the latter is actually the only trueright-shift, and must be used in theMagickey combination).right-ctrlis moved onEnd.]is moved in place of the dash (-).- Dash (
-) and=are moved on bottom right row. - Arrows and
PgUp/PgDnare moved on the thumbs.

Layer Switching
- Use
numto toggle the Numeric Layer. - Hold
fnto 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.
