# 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.

  The this layout is a normalized qwerty,
  with some configurable keys left thumb cluster so you can use it more as needed.

- 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 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.

## 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_USE_SHIFT_QUOTES`
  an optional 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).

- `CFQ_WORD_[A-Z]`
  defines can bind a key to an entire user defined word.

- `CFQ_USE_80_KEYS`
  enables 80 key layout, none of the extra keys are bound,
  they need to be set with defines: `CFQ_USER_K80_L0K0` .. `CFQ_USER_K80_L3K4`.
  Where `L#` is the layer and `K#` is the key.

- 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.
