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.
