+# ZWFP Layout Notes
+## About
+
+ZWFP is a layout largely based on Colemak Mod-DH.
+The layout rotates the QZXVB keys for the following reasons:
+* XCV are brought together.
+ * One design goal of colemak was to keep ZXCV close together as they are commonly uses control shortcuts.
+ * Mod-dh moved D to where the V key was as that position was too ergonomic for an infrequent letter like V.
+ * XCV benefit more from being together are Cut-Copy-Paste are more related than Undo (which Z commonly represents).
+* B is returned to its QWERTY position.
+ * This was an unintentional benefit.
+ * The original rotation of QZXV moved Q to a better position than B despite being was less frequent.
+ * This is based off the grid on [the colemak mod-dh page](https://colemakmods.github.io/mod-dh/model.html).
+ * This needs more testing, and may be reverted as despite the above mentioned grid, the current Q position feels easier than the current B position.
+* Based off [the layout analyser](https://colemakmods.github.io/mod-dh/analyze.html) its slightly better.
+* I like being different.
+
+## Todo
+* Work out punctuation locations.
+* Figure out what the thumb cluster is doing.
+ * I've somewhat settled on left home-row (centre) thumb key is space and right is shift OSL.
+* Maybe a deadkey instead of using shift-/alt- key overrides?
+* [Repeat key](https://www.jonashietala.se/blog/2021/09/05/t-34-0/)
+* Move Home, End, PgDn and PgUp to a kc/ko/dk with the arrow keys.
+

+
+#### Obscure keys to add just for completeness
+* Normal Minus and Equals \(Don't know if they are needed or not \)
+* Function keys 13-24

+* Windows keys for either side
