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. + +## Table of Contents + +* [Layouts](#layouts) + - [Base layer](#base-layer) + - [Symbol layer](#symbol-layer) + - [Gaming layer](#rimworld-layer) + - [Media layer](#media-layer) +* [Tools](#tools) + - [Layer notification](#layer-notification) +* [Building](#building) + - [Using on Windows](#using-on-windows) +* [License](#license) +* [Special Thanks](#special-thanks) + +# 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. + +# Building + +To build, you will need the [QMK][qmk] firmware checked out. from there, dive into `keyboards/ergodox/keymaps/win10_writers-block/` + +[qmk]: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware + +``` +$ make keyboard=ergodox keymap=win10_writers-block +``` + +## Using on Windows + +This layout is tested in Windows 7 Pro and Windows 10 Home environments. + +# License + +GPL 3+ + +# Special Thanks + +* To algernon for his coding help.
