# German Layout for the ErgoDox This layout is inspired by the "kinesis-qwerty-mod" from benblazak's [ergodox-firmware](https://github.com/benblazak/ergodox-firmware), as well as by the "german" layout from the [qmk_firmware](https://github.com/jackhumbert/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. ## Default Layer  ## Code Layer  ## Media Layer  Christoph Schmitz <schm4704 at web dot de> 2016-01-28
