Ergodox EZ Layout
I recently bought an Ergodox EZ shine to use at home, with blue switches. Clicky keys are definitely very satisfying to type with, though even I occasionally get annoyed by the sound.
As a long time Kinesis user, I've reconfigured the keyboard to work similarly to a Kinesis layout along with some quirks that I like having (I have an Escape key at the same place as the Ergodox does by default), all configured to run as Dvoark with the laptop also set to Dvorak — which is something that's more painful to set up in a Kinesis.
Anyways, you can see my layout here (originally downloaded from the automatic configuration tool on Ergodox's website, then modified)

I also ended up writing a mildly interesting script to pretty print the layout, because I was fairly certain I didn't want to realign keys every time I modified any layer. You can grab that here:
#!/usr/local/bin/python3 import itertools import re import sys row_len = 15 left_hand_layout = """ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + . + + + + + + + + + + + + . . . . . . + + . . . . . . + . . . . + + + . """ right_hand_layout = "" for row in left_hand_layout.split("\n"): right_hand_layout += row.ljust(row_len)[::-1] + "\n" def tokenize(keys_string): tokens = [] token = "" brackets = 0 for c in keys_string: if c == "," and brackets == 0: tokens.append(token) token = "" else: if c == "(": brackets += 1 elif c == ")": brackets -= 1 token += c tokens.append(token) return [token.strip() for token in tokens] def pretty_print(keys, layout): word_width = max(len(x) for x in keys) + 2 replaced = layout.replace(".", "{{:^{}}}".format(word_width + 1).format(" ")) replaced = replaced.replace("+", "{{:<{}}},".format(word_width)) replaced = replaced.format(*keys) filled_columns = map( lambda x: [c == ' ' for c in x], replaced.strip().split('\n')) mask = list(map(lambda x: all(x), itertools.zip_longest(*filled_columns, fillvalue=True))) mask_str = "" for c in mask: mask_str += "+" if c else "-" # print() # print(mask_str) # print(replaced) result = "" for row in replaced.split('\n'): result += ''.join(map(lambda x: x[0], filter(lambda x: not x[1], zip(row, mask)))) + "\n" return result def reformat(keys): left_covered = len(re.findall("\+", left_hand_layout)) tokens = tokenize(keys) print(pretty_print(tokens[:left_covered], left_hand_layout).strip('\n')) print(pretty_print(tokens[left_covered:], right_hand_layout).strip('\n')) def main(): reformat(sys.stdin.read()) if __name__ == "__main__": main()
I generally apply it by using C-u M-| followed by prettyprint.py on
the key layout to reformat the keys in emacs.
