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.
-
L3 is currently only used if
CFQ_USE_EXPEREMENTAL_LAYERis defined, this is a layer to place extra functionality and test new keys.
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_KEY1(1..7) are used for custom-keysCFQ_USE_MOMENTARY_LAYER_KEYSis used to prevent layer keys from toggling when tapped.CFQ_USE_SWAP_RIGHT_SPACE_ENTERswap Enter and Space on the right hand thumb cluster. While asymmetric, it makes Enter more easily accessible.CFQ_USE_EXPEREMENTAL_LAYERdefines an extra layer for misc extra keys/macros. When set, Caps-Lock is replace by Layer3. Currently it's mostly empty.

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.
