German Layout for the ErgoDox
This layout is inspired by the "kinesis-qwerty-mod" from benblazak's ergodox-firmware, as well as by the "german" layout from the qmk_firmware. The goal was to have a layout that is pretty close to an ordinary German keyboard, so I don't have to make adjustments on the operating system level and I keep some of the muscle memory to use a regular keyboard.
Modifications I made with regard to the aforementioned layouts:
-
The key layout is pretty close to the layout of a German Kinesis Ergo Elan. The only exception I made is that I reversed the "up" and "down" cursor keys, since that feels more natural to me.
-
All layer changes are "momentary", i.e. they only last as long as the respective key is pressed.
-
I sacrificed the Hyper and Meh keys, which I don't use, and put layer change keys in their place.
-
I added a PrintScreen key which I use quite regularly for screenshots.
