NEO2 for ErgoDox EZ on QWERTZ

Inspired by ergodox_osx_neo2 by mjonuschat, built for the Ergodox EZ.

Layers

This is a Neo 2.0 layout adjusted for the ErgoDox EZ. It is my personal optimization and I will not take requests. If you like it, feel free to use it, tweak it, whatever.

I also have an alternative layout for the Corne Keyboard.

Layer 1 Lowercase, upppercase and typographical characters Layer 2 Special characters for programming Layer 3 WASD-like movement keys and number block Layer 4 Rough de qwertz layout Layer 5 Function keys Layer 6 Cursor movement

Legend

• Keys marked with ---- are dead keys.
• Blank keys are transparent and fall through to lower levels.
• Keys marked with xxxx are modifiers that are currently pressed while the layer is active.

Layer 1

This layer implements NEO layers 1 and 2.
