+Win10 Writer's Block ErgoDox - v1.0
+
+=======================
+
+This is a QWERTY layout for QMK. It's designed to work well in MS Office-like environments. It's tested on Windows 7 and 10.
+
+Professional writers may find this layout useful -- copywriters, technical writers, novelists, etc.
+
+I use my ErgoDox with this keymap as a daily driver at my office.
+
+A gaming layer is unobtrusively built into this layout. I use that layer to play RimWorld.
+
+Feel free to modify the gaming layer to your personal taste.

+# Layouts
+
+* TapDance will teleport you to the layer you want:
+* One Tap for the Base layer
+* Two Taps for the Symbol layer
+* Three Taps for the Rimworld/Gaming layer
+
+* Where the "Meh" key is located on the Ergodox EZ default layout, I've changed it to another tap dance key:
+* One Tap for CTRL-ALT-DEL
+* Two Taps for the Media/Mouse layer
+
+## Base layer
+
+[](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/8fd9bbdd3a23bbb5a8779de3624a3be1)
+
+This is a QWERTY layout with some quirks.
+
+* Enter is located on a key that won't cause as much thumb fatigue.
+* Copy and Paste work from the same key. Just hold the key to copy and tap the key to paste!
+* Undo, Find and Cut are also one-touch keys.
+* F12 is where you would normally find TAB on standard layouts. Quickly save in Word, safely.
+* You'll find bracket keys below the "6" key.
+
+* The Meh Key is a single-button CTRL+ALT+SHIFT modifier.
+
+* Space Cadet Shift: Tap L Shift for "(" and R Shift for ")" -- holding either shift works like a normal shift.
+* Tap "Z" or Tab to use either normally. Hold them for CTRL.
+* Tap Caps Lock to use it normally. Hold it for Win key combinations (Win+D to minimize all programs, etc).
+
+## Symbol layer
+
+[](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/04eb6458b8b17882e472f64d482f12b4)
+
+Your standard Ergodox EZ symbol + numpad layout, minus the Version and EEPROM keys.
+
+* From the base layer, hold the F12 Key to temporarily access this layer (use for quick access to numpad)
+* Release F12 to return to the base layer.
+
+## Rimworld layer
+
+[](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/d53af8391e6e443ed0a98ccfbdb4eace)
+
+This layer was made to play RimWorld, a Sci-Fi Colony Survival Game by Tynan Sylvester and Ludeon Studios, available on Steam.
+
+* Have fun!
+
+## Media layer
+
+[](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/3209d09ed4bd997e4f49f28c6ada2ab3)
+
+This is the standard Ergodox EZ media layout with more options for mouseclick buttons.
+
+* In this layer, your "space" key changes into a back button for your browser.
+
+## LED states
+
+Your LEDs will change to indicate your layer. You'll know you are in the base layer if all LEDs are off.
+
