+# keymap_beautifier.py
+
+## About
+This Python 3 script, by [Tsan-Kuang Lee](https://github.com/tsankuanglee) takes the keymap.c downloaded from [ErgoDox EZ Configurator](https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/) and beautifies it for easier customization, allowing one to quickly draft a layout to build upon.
+
+## Features
+For example, the original `keymap.c` looks like
+
+```
+[0] = LAYOUT_ergodox(KC_EQUAL,KC_1,KC_2,KC_3,KC_4,KC_5,LCTL(KC_MINUS),KC_DELETE,KC_Q,KC_W,KC_E,KC_R,KC_T,KC_LBRC,KC_BSPC,KC_A,KC_S,KC_D,KC_F,KC_G,SC_LSPO,CTL_T(KC_Z),KC_X,KC_C,KC_V,KC_B,ALL_T(KC_NO),LT(1,KC_GRAVE),KC_QUOTE,LALT(KC_LSFT),KC_LEFT,KC_RIGHT,ALT_T(KC_APPLICATION),KC_LGUI,KC_HOME,KC_SPACE,KC_UNDS,KC_END,LCTL(KC_EQUAL),KC_6,KC_7,KC_8,KC_9,KC_0,KC_MINUS,KC_RBRC,KC_Y,KC_U,KC_I,KC_O,KC_P,KC_BSLS,KC_H,ALT_T(KC_J),KC_K,KC_L,LT(2,KC_SCLN),GUI_T(KC_QUOTE),MEH_T(KC_NO),KC_N,KC_M,KC_COMMA,KC_DOT,CTL_T(KC_SLASH),SC_RSPC,KC_UP,KC_DOWN,KC_LBRC,KC_RBRC,TT(1),KC_LALT,CTL_T(KC_ESCAPE),KC_PGUP,KC_PGDN,LT(1,KC_TAB),KC_ENTER),
+```
+
+The beautifier parses it and outputs:
+
+```
+[0] = LAYOUT_ergodox(
+// left hand
+
+KC_EQUAL , KC_1 , KC_2 , KC_3 , KC_4 , KC_5, LCTL(KC_MINUS),
+KC_DELETE , KC_Q , KC_W , KC_E , KC_R , KC_T, KC_LBRC ,
+KC_BSPC , KC_A , KC_S , KC_D , KC_F , KC_G,
+SC_LSPO , CTL_T(KC_Z), KC_X , KC_C , KC_V , KC_B, ALL_T(KC_NO) ,
+LT(1,KC_GRAVE), KC_QUOTE , LALT(KC_LSFT) , KC_LEFT, KC_RIGHT,
+
+// left thumb
+
+ ALT_T(KC_APPLICATION), KC_LGUI,
+ KC_HOME,
+KC_SPACE, KC_UNDS , KC_END ,
+
+// right hand
+
+LCTL(KC_EQUAL), KC_6, KC_7 , KC_8 , KC_9 , KC_0 , KC_MINUS ,
+KC_RBRC , KC_Y, KC_U , KC_I , KC_O , KC_P , KC_BSLS ,
+ KC_H, ALT_T(KC_J), KC_K , KC_L , LT(2,KC_SCLN) , GUI_T(KC_QUOTE),
+MEH_T(KC_NO) , KC_N, KC_M , KC_COMMA, KC_DOT , CTL_T(KC_SLASH), SC_RSPC ,
+ KC_UP , KC_DOWN , KC_LBRC, KC_RBRC , TT(1) ,
+
+// right thumb
+
+KC_LALT , CTL_T(KC_ESCAPE),
+KC_PGUP ,
+KC_PGDN, LT(1,KC_TAB) , KC_ENTER
+)
+```
+
+Optionally, it can also render [LAYOUT_ergodox_pretty](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/ee700b2e831067bdb7584425569b61bc6329247b/keyboards/ergodox_ez/keymaps/bpruitt-goddard/keymap.c#L49-L57):
+```
+[0] = LAYOUT_ergodox_pretty(
+ KC_ESCAPE, KC_1, KC_2, KC_3, KC_4, KC_5, QK_LEAD, QK_LEAD, KC_6 , KC_7 , KC_8 , KC_9 , KC_0 , KC_BSPC ,
+ KC_TAB, KC_Q, KC_W, KC_E, KC_R, KC_T, KC_HYPR, KC_HYPR, KC_Y , KC_U , KC_I , KC_O , KC_P , KC_BSLS ,
+ KC_LCTL, KC_A, KC_S, KC_D, KC_F, KC_G, KC_H , KC_J , KC_K , KC_L , KC_SCLN , KC_QUOTE ,
+ KC_LSFT, KC_Z, KC_X, KC_C, KC_V, KC_B, SH_MON, SH_MON , KC_N , KC_M , KC_COMMA , KC_DOT , KC_SLASH , KC_RSFT ,
+LT(6,KC_NO), LT(7,KC_NO), KC_LCTL, KC_LGUI, KC_LALT, ALGR_T(KC_MINUS), RGUI_T(KC_EQUAL), RCTL_T(KC_LBRC), LT(10,KC_RBRC), LT(6,KC_APPLICATION),
+
+ LT(6,KC_GRAVE), MEH_T(KC_NO), KC_LEFT, KC_RIGHT ,
+ LT(10,KC_DELETE), KC_UP ,
+ KC_SPACE, LT(8,KC_ENTER), LT(7,KC_BSPC), KC_DOWN, LT(7,KC_SPACE), LT(8,KC_ENTER)
+)
+```
+
+We can also align everythng t othe left (easier editing in my opinon):
+```
+[0] = LAYOUT_ergodox_pretty(
+KC_ESCAPE , KC_1 , KC_2 , KC_3 , KC_4 , KC_5 , QK_LEAD , QK_LEAD, KC_6 , KC_7 , KC_8 , KC_9 , KC_0 , KC_BSPC ,
+KC_TAB , KC_Q , KC_W , KC_E , KC_R , KC_T , KC_HYPR , KC_HYPR, KC_Y , KC_U , KC_I , KC_O , KC_P , KC_BSLS ,
+KC_LCTL , KC_A , KC_S , KC_D , KC_F , KC_G , KC_H , KC_J , KC_K , KC_L , KC_SCLN , KC_QUOTE ,
+KC_LSFT , KC_Z , KC_X , KC_C , KC_V , KC_B , SH_MON , SH_MON , KC_N , KC_M , KC_COMMA , KC_DOT , KC_SLASH , KC_RSFT ,
+LT(6,KC_NO), LT(7,KC_NO), KC_LCTL , KC_LGUI, KC_LALT , ALGR_T(KC_MINUS), RGUI_T(KC_EQUAL), RCTL_T(KC_LBRC), LT(10,KC_RBRC), LT(6,KC_APPLICATION),
+
+ LT(6,KC_GRAVE), MEH_T(KC_NO) , KC_LEFT, KC_RIGHT ,
+ LT(10,KC_DELETE), KC_UP ,
+ KC_SPACE, LT(8,KC_ENTER), LT(7,KC_BSPC) , KC_DOWN, LT(7,KC_SPACE), LT(8,KC_ENTER)
+)
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### With docker
+This is the cleaner way. `Docker` is the only requirement. The program executes within a container that has all dependencies installed.
+
+First build the images. (Run once)
+```
+cd QMK_GIT_REPO_dir/keyboards/ergodox_ez/util/keymap_beautifier
+docker build -t keymapbeautifier:1.0 .
+```
+Run it
+```
+cd QMK_GIT_REPO_dir/keyboards/ergodox_ez/util/keymap_beautifier
+cp PATH_TO_YOUR_C_SOURCE_FILE.c input.c
+./docker_run.sh input.c -p -c -o output.c
+```
+The prettified file is written to `output.c`. See the section Tweaks for non-default settings.
+
+### Without docker
+Requirements:
+* python3 (tested on 3.7.4)
+* python module `pycparser` installed (with `pip install pycparser`)
+
+To run:
+```
+cd QMK_GIT_REPO_dir/keyboards/ergodox_ez/util/keymap_beautifier
+cp PATH_TO_YOUR_C_SOURCE_FILE.c input.c
+./KeymapBeautifier.py input.c -p -c -o output.c
+```
+The prettified file is written to `output.c`. See the section Tweaks for non-default settings.
+
+## Tweaks
+```
+usage: KeymapBeautifier.py [-h] [-o OUTPUT_FILENAME] [-p] [-c] input_filename
+
+Beautify keymap.c downloaded from ErgoDox-Ez Configurator for easier
+customization.
+
+positional arguments:
+ input_filename input file: c source code file that has the layer
+ keymaps
+
+optional arguments:
+ -h, --help show this help message and exit
+ -o OUTPUT_FILENAME, --output-filename OUTPUT_FILENAME
+ output file: beautified c filename. If not given,
+ output to STDOUT.
+ -p, --pretty-output-layout
+ use LAYOUT_ergodox_pretty for output instead of
+ LAYOUT_ergodox
+ -c, --justify-toward-center
+ for LAYOUT_ergodox_pretty, align right for the left
+ half, and align left for the right half. Default is
+ align left for both halves.
+```
+For example,
+```
+./docker_run.sh input.c -p -c -o output.c
+# or if you don't want to use docker:
+#./KeymapBeautifier.py input.c -p -c -o output.c
+```
+will read `input.c`, and produce `output.c` with LAYOUT_ergodox_pretty, and have the key symbols gravitating toward the center.
