# Overview
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is my user space, main goal is to unify the experience between different 
 | 
						|
keyboard models and operating systems.
 | 
						|
My native language is German and I almost exclusively use keyboards in the
 | 
						|
US-ANSI layout. I find this layout the most practical for programming as
 | 
						|
far as the placement of special characters is concerned. However, when I write
 | 
						|
in German, I miss a few special characters like umlauts, etc.
 | 
						|
Since I also use different operating systems (MacOS, Linux and Windows)
 | 
						|
and especially Windows and MacOS behave very differently regarding the input
 | 
						|
of such characters (under Linux there is at least the Compose key).
 | 
						|
So I needed a hardware solution, and that's how I came to QMK.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Here are defined some key codes to put the keyboard in different modes
 | 
						|
(Mac, Windows, Linux) and the corresponding functions to make the input.
 | 
						|
And some logic to store the respective mode and load it at boot time.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You'll find a proper layout here: [keyborads/id80/keymaps/rverst](../../keyboards/id80/keymaps/rverst)
