Once you get comfortable with the Ergodox-EZ, you may fork this keymap and customize it for your own needs or find a suitable one from the community contributed keymaps. + +![Beginner's Keymap](https://i.imgur.com/dAIocc8.png) + +#### Pros +* Easier to switch between regular keyboards and Ergodox-EZ. +* Easy on beginners. It has everything you need for your day to day usage. + +#### Cons +* Keys are not ergonomically placed to take full advantage of Ergodox-EZ. Take a look at this [Default Keymap](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/ergodox/keymaps/default/readme.md) +* While multiple layers are possible, beginner's keymap only uses one additional layer for mouse, function and volume keys. + +#### Notes +* Ideally number key [6] should have started from the right-hand side of the keyboard. Doing so breaks the familiar QWERTY layout. +* Quote key ['] should have been placed between [:] and [Enter]. Due to lack of key space, it is placed below [Enter]. +* Double [Alt] keys are placed adjacent to each other for convenience. +* [CapsLock] also acts as [Ctrl] key when you press and hold. It is convenient for GNU Emacs users. +* Additional bracket keys are placed in the center of the keyboard for programmer's convenience. + + -- cgit v1.2.3
