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.

• Arrow keys follow VIM convention (the media layer even uses arrow keys for HJKL).

• 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 extra 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.

• There is a 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).

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..7) are used for custom-keys
• CFQ_USE_MOMENTARY_LAYER_KEYS is used to prevent layer keys from toggling when tapped.
• CFQ_WORD_[A-Z] defines can bind a key to an entire user defined word.

Keymap 1: KeyPad, Macro Record

Notes:

• The double bracket keys on this layer press left to position the cursor between them.
• The left thumb cluster is used for macro record/replay.
