+# [Ergodox EZ Hacker Dvorak Layout](https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/layouts/Wadz/latest/0)
+
+Inspired by the [*Programmer Dvorak*](https://www.kaufmann.no/roland/dvorak) keyboard layout, cherry picked ideas from other layouts in the [EZ Repository](https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/search?q=dvorak&legacy=true), a character distribution [heatmap vizualizer](https://run.plnkr.co/plunks/5EEO8nJ2wRzYAfT3), my own subjective use cases and lots of trial and error.
+
+## Setup
+
+Configure your OS keyboard layout to US, or the keymap will be incorrect.
+
+## Limitations
+
+I plan to use [QMK](https://docs.qmk.fm) in the future, in order to overcome some limitations of the Ergodox EZ [graphical configurator](https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/layouts/default/latest/0)), however I will defer that, until more progress is made to the new [configurator](https://medium.com/the-ergo/the-configurator-is-out-of-beta-e107aec80cae).
+
+## Layers
+
+1. Dvorak
+ * US Dvorak layout.
+ * All symbols (including shifted symbols).
+ * All modifier are dual keys positioned near the home row.
+2. Querty
+ * Used to overcome the limitation pointed above, when your OS layout is set to Dvorak instead of US, this way you can use
+ Standard Dvorak (available by default on all the main operating systems) on other normal keybdoards and Hacker Dvorak on
+ the Ergodox EZ Shine at the same time, without changing back and forth tho OS layout.
+3. Gaming
+ * Still in development.
+ * Left side is mainly "normal" Qwerty.
+ * Right side is mainly for movement, either using the mouse, the arrow keys, the number pad or the `H`, `J`, `K`, `L` as direction keys.
+4. Arrows
+ * Arrow keys navigation.
+ * All modifier keys.
+ * Common text edititng shortcuts (doesn't work for MacOS).
+5. Mouse
+ * Mouse navigation.
+ * All modifier keys.
+ * Common text edititng shortcuts (doesn't work for MacOS).
+6. Numpad
+ * ATM style numpad.
+ * All modifier keys.
+ * Letters from `A` to `F` for hexadecimal numbers (`B` is also used for binary numeric literals in most programming
+ languages, ie. `0b11001`).
+ * `X` for hexadecimal numeric literals in most programming languages, ie. `0xbeef`.
+ * `O` for octal numeric literals in most programming languages, ie `0o123`.
+ * `J` for complex numeric literals in Python, ie. `3j`.
+ * `I` and `M` for complex Julia numeric literals, ie. `3im`.
+ * Common symbols for mathematical operations.
+7. Hyper Fn
+ * Useful for custom global shortcuts.
+8. Media Fn
+ * Media keys.
+ * Function keys.
+ * EZ Shine keys.
+9. Meh Fn
+ * Useful for custom application shortcuts.
+10. Meh Fn +
+ * Useful for custom standard shortcuts.
+
+## To Do
+
+Add images.
