ErgoDox EZ Configuration for typing like a boss.

This layout has 7 layers: 0. Base layers

  1. Symbols and F-keys
  2. Number pad (with hexadecimal)
  3. Cursor keys
  4. Mouse movement and clicks
  5. Keyword macros
  6. Emacs

There are also some leader keys defined for frequently used commands (git etc).

The layers

Double hashes (##) indicate transparent keys (KC_TRNS) and blanks indicate no key (KC_NO).

Space Cadet shift is enabled. Ctrl and Alt doubles up as normal keys when tapped.
SfLt and SfRt sends Shift + left and Shift + Right respectively - for use with emacs with windmove-default-keybindings.
Caps and Enter may be held down to activate layer 2 (hexadecimal number pad).
Please see matrix_scan_user function in keymap.c for list of commands available via lead key.

Please see keymap.c for the keywords/commands. Some are const, volatile, operator, return, template, typename, continue, private, protected, public, struct, class, extern, virtual, break, namespace. Also a git log command I use a lot (git log --oneline --graph --decorate=short (I know git can be configured but that is boring)).
