This is easy enough to switch around with Qwerty, Colemak, or whatever. + +2. **Right Shift** + + I use both the left and right shift keys when I type. When I want to modify a key with shift, I hold shift with the hand opposite the one typing the key. In the default keymap, Enter is where shift would be on a standard keyboard layout. Oh, muscle memory. + + Thankfully, QMK supports [mod-tap](https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware/wiki#fun-with-modifier-keys) keys, and this allows me to set the Enter key to send a modifier (MOD_LSFT) when held, and KC_ENT when tapped. Awesome! + +3. Escape + + I am experimenting with using Left Shift as a mod-tap key for Escape, similar to how I use the Enter key. It's set up like this on my Minivan, so in the interest of consistency... + +4. Backtick + + I don't currently have LEDs on any of my keyboards, and even if I did, I don't think I would want their controls on a base layer. + + So, why use backtick in the lower left corner? I use it as my tmux prefix key, so I need to type it more frequently than most people. Putting it on the base layer works well for me. + +## Dvorak (default) + +``` +,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------. +| Tab | " | , | . | P | Y | F | G | C | R | L | Bksp | +|------+------+------+------+------+-------------+------+------+------+------+------| +| Esc | A | O | E | U | I | D | H | T | N | S | - | +|------+------+------+------+------+------|------+------+------+------+------+------| +| Shift| ; | Q | J | K | X | B | M | W | V | Z |Enter | +|------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------| +| ` | Ctrl | Alt | GUI |Lower | Space |Raise | Left | Down | Up |Right | +`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------' +``` + +## Qwerty (same as default) + +``` +,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------. +| Tab | Q | W | E | R | T | Y | U | I | O | P | Bksp | +|------+------+------+------+------+-------------+------+------+------+------+------| +| Esc | A | S | D | F | G | H | J | K | L | ; | " | +|------+------+------+------+------+------|------+------+------+------+------+------| +| Shift| Z | X | C | V | B | N | M | , | . | / |Enter | +|------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------| +| ` | Ctrl | Alt | GUI |Lower | Space |Raise | Left | Down | Up |Right | +`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------' +``` + +## Lower + +This is where I put the number row, a numpad cluster, function keys, and some light navigation via Home/End/PageUp/PageDn.
