# Belak's Ergodox Layout
This has been based off of [emacs\_osx\_dk](https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/ergodox/keymaps/emacs_osx_dk)
from the main qmk repo. However, I've taken some of the ideas for the thumbs
from [dvorak\_emacs](https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/ergodox/keymaps/dvorak_emacs)
and tweaked it a bit based on the keycaps I have.
This keyboard is intended for use in emacs (one of the main reasons for easy
access to modifiers) but it could be useful in other instances as well.
The main repo is used as a testbed, so sometimes the layout may be in a strange
state. The qmk version should be relatively stable.
## Instructions
This is currently being used on a regular ergodox, but it should work fine on
the infinity as well. Though, you may have to modify the commands to build and
flash the firmware to match the separate halves as defined in the infinity
documentation.
If you are using this keymap in the qmk repo, you should be able to just run
`make ergodox-belak-teensy`. If you're using this externally (I sometimes make
changes before syncing them to qmk), use the following instructions:
1. Clone the main qmk repo
2. Clone this to `$QMK/keyboards/ergodox/keymaps/belak-external`
3. Run `make ergodox-belak-external-teensy` from the root of the qmk repo.
