To use Minimak as your system layout, registry mappings are included in
the `boot_mappings` subdirectory.

Use the PKL layouts (below) if you're just learning and use these boot
mappings if you've settled on a layout for good.

Several versions are included:

- __minimak-beg.reg:__ The beginner layout. 5 keys changed.
- __minimak.reg:__ The intermediate layout. 9 keys changed.
- __minimak+backslock.reg:__ Intermediate layout with Backspace for
CapsLock.
- __minimak-adv.reg:__ The advanced layout. 13 keys changed.
- __minimak-adv+backslock:__ The advanced layout with Backspace for
CapsLock.
- __minimak_4_key.reg:__ Swaps D, T, E and K (looped)
- __minimak_6_key.reg:__ Swaps 4-key as well as F, R
- __minimak_8_key.reg:__ Swaps 4-key as well as N, J and L, O
- __minimak_8_key+backslock.reg:__ Adds CapsLock as Backspace
- __minimak.reg:__ Swaps remaining keys for Minimak (no Backslock)
- __minimak+backslock.reg:__ Adds CapsLock as Backspace

If you want to use user mappings (on XP) instead of boot mappings, or
you want to experiment with your own layouts, I recommend [Key

has been customized for Minimak. It was created by us and is not
supported by the PKL folks. It's in the `pkl` subdirectory.

It includes the following layouts:

- __Minimak:__ This is the intermediate, recommended layout that changes
9 keys from QWERTY. It is the default since it is the one that most
people will end up using.
- __Minimak Inverse:__ This layout is for when you have Minimak loaded
as a boot mapping (see the website for an explanation of boot
mappings). If you use this inverse layout, it maps the Minimak layout
back to QWERTY. You can use this if you want to let someone else use
your computer without having to reboot.
- __Minimak Beginner:__ The beginner's step toward intermediate
Minimak. It changes 5 keys from QWERTY.
- __Minimak Advanced:__ For those users that don't care about closeness
to QWERTY, this is a 13-key mapping that emphasizes typing feel.
- __Minimak Advanced Inverse:__ An inverse mapping for users of the
advanced boot mappings.

There is no inverse mapping for basic.
It includes the same layouts as above, as well as inverse mappings for
Minimak and the 8-key layout. The inverse mappings are meant to be used
once you've adopted a boot mapping, but need to go back to QWERTY
temporarily. For example, if you need someone else to use the keyboard
to enter a password.

None of these layouts include the Backspace to CapsLock mapping.
