I also didn't like the lack of efficient access to some of the more common special characters used in programming.\n\n## Key features / changes\n\nN/A\n\n## Layers\n\n### Base Layer\n\n[Open on keyboard-layout-editor.com](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/f9769c844e700f4d92239dba79f5723a)\n\n![Base layer](layers/base.png)\n\n\n* **No `MT(mod, kc)` keys (modifier when pressed, key when tapped).** Those keys work with a global timeout. When a key press is shorter than the timeout, it's considered a tap, otherwise it's a hold. I couldn't find any particular timeout that would work for me. I need to use mods extremely fast, but also want the confort of using them more slowly in other occasions. So I gave up on this feature altogether.\n* **Direct access to `{}[]`.** When programming, these are used extremely often. I was still getting used to the coder layer, and I prefer the arrows on the home row, so I used the bottom-right keys for this.\n* **Layer keys everywhere.** I either use my little finger or my index finger to go to L1, whichever is more confortable in any given situation. L2 is not used while coding/writing, so I don't need an extremely-optimized access to it.\n* **Lang key.** This is nothing more than `Super-Space` combo, which in my systems (both Linux \u0026 Windows) is the shortcut to change the keyboard language. I'm Portuguese, so I often cycle between US layout for coding, and PT layout for writing.\n* **Special chars on the right-most column.** I only use Ctrl \u0026 Shift keys on the left side, so I used the right keys to include some of the more useful special characters as well.\n\n### Coder Layer\n\n[Open on keyboard-layout-editor.com](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/afa546a6b0b9c0ec78147afc6ef9250c)\n\n![Coder layer](layers/coder.png)\n\n* The `=` and `-` signs where nowhere to be found. `-` was already on the base layer, but it's still useful to have a fully-featured NumPad on the coder layer.\n\n### Media Layer\n\n[Open on keyboard-layout-editor.com](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/801ba0ae4d340d73df70588329e995ed)\n\n![Media layer](layers/media.png)\n\n* **Better media keys**. Why was Play/Pause so far away? And where was Mute? I put all my media keys close to each other, including the missing ones\n* **Arrow keys on home row.** I use vim, so I'm always on my home row. I use this sometimes to get around, but not as often as to need them on the base row. I'm fine with them here\n* I don't use mouse keys. They're still set up, and I made some changes as an experiment, but I mostly forgot they exist by now.\n\n## Tools\n\n### Keylogger\n\nFor every key press, the keyboard will output a JSON-formatted line containing the position of\nthe key in the matrix.\nThis allows one to collect usage information, and to build analytics over it,\nsuch as a heat map.\n\nKeyboard output can be caught using `hid_listen`.\n\nThis functionality is enabled by default (via `KEYLOGGER_ENABLE` and\n`AUTOLOG_ENABLE` in `Makefile`).\n\n## Building\n\nIf you are reading this directly through [QMK firmware](https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware)'s repository, you can build this layout with the standard method:\n\n```bash\n$ make keyboard=ergodox_ez keymap=naps62\n```\n\nIf you're reading this from [my own\nrepository](https://github.com/naps62/ergodox-layout), then you'll need to\ncheckout this code into QMK's repository. Here's an example:\n\n```bash\n$ git clone https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware.git\n$ cd qmk_firmware\n$ git clone https://github.com/naps62/ergodox-layout.git keyboards/ergodox_ez/keymaps/naps62\n$ make keyboard=ergodox_ez keymap=naps62\n```\n\n## Author\n\n[Miguel Palhas](https://github.com/naps62)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnaps62%2Fergodox-layout","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnaps62%2Fergodox-layout","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnaps62%2Fergodox-layout/lists"}
