Kinesis Advantage Keymap
About
This keymap is designed after Kinesis Advantage's QWERTY layout with the following key differences:
- There are only 10 F-keys in the main layer, F1 and F2 are moved to additional LOWER layer.
- The INS key acts like a LOWER layer activation key and Del in LOWER layer ats like INS.
- LCtl is placed where CAPS should be and CAPS is moved to a free key after F10.
- Brigtness and volume control keys are added to LOWER layer.
The keymap file also contains RAISE layer but it is currently equivalent to LOWER layer and does not have an activation key mapped. It is intended for possible extensions.

Bootloader
Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
- Bootmagic reset: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
- Physical reset button: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
- Keycode in layout: Press the key mapped to
QK_BOOTif it is available
