# 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.

## Keymap 3: K-Keys & User defined words
This is for assigning whole words to single keys.
You can define the arguments (which must be quoted) using: `CFQ_WORD_[A-Z]`
eg: `-DCFQ_WORD_E=\"my@email.com\"`
```
