 | |
| About
 | |
| ------
 | |
| 
 | |
| After using the massdrop configurator to get the basics, I wanted to add a
 | |
| little extra to my ergodox. Notably the Hyper hotkey, the press and hold,
 | |
| and a way to have my beloved £ :pound: symbol available<sup>[1](#unicode)</sup>. Why not switch to a GB
 | |
| layout? Well the computers I use are US keymap'd and I can't always change
 | |
| that. Plus I've got used to 2/@ and 3/# and moving to the ergodox was hard
 | |
| enough. :sweat_smile:
 | |
| 
 | |
| I started from the default and edited from there as I needed. It's somewhat
 | |
| similar to a regular layout, particularly R1 and shift/controls. I ended up
 | |
| with a few keys that were blank, so I'm testing out some shortcuts. Alt+F4 for
 | |
| quitting things in Windows, is one example, but I felt it was better placed on 
 | |
| the 1st layer - in case of fat fingers.

 | |
| If pressed and released will remain on layer until pressed again.

 | |
