RMW Ergodox_EZ Layout
This is the keymap I use on the Ergodox_EZ I use for work. I write reports and code in a variety of languages on this board and the various layers provide plenty of flexibility for navigating, editing text, and writing code and prose.
I switched to a Mac in the past year, so my keymap now mostly gets used in the Mac mode; simply edit the keymap.c file to uncomment #include keymap-win.c and comment out #include keymap-mac.c to change back to the Windows version, but I haven't been updating that map as I've made changes moving forward on the Mac version.
The theory of this keymap
The base layer is either QWERTY or MINIMAK4, as desired. Overlaid on that base layer are various layers triggered by one-shots, TOs, and LTs. Tapdances are used to cram lots of mods into few keys and provide freedom to hit combinations with either hand. Mods and layer things are one-shot (where reasonable) because I prefer that.
An EDIT layer provides text navigation, selection, and editing capabilities in home position. The EXCEL layer offers a numpad and various spreadsheet-useful navigations and operations. Holding S will put the numpad under your right hand in home position. Keys F and J offer various useful symbols (mostly) on the opposite hand when held, including [](){} under the left pointer and middle fingers on bottom, middle, and top rows respectively. The MEDIA layer provides media controls (obvs) and some mouse movement and nav, in case I don't feel like reaching for the trackball/trackpad/mouse.
