# Minifan layout
Compiled for: Dvorak²
=====================
This file details the compile version `#define BASE_DVORAK_DESCRAMBLE__ALT_BASE`
which has a special version of Dvorak so that you can type Dvorak on a computer
*already* set to do Dvorak layout re-mapping.
This can be useful on for example a laptop, for which the build-in
keyboard should to be in Dvorak.

₁) Dual hold for _DRA, single hold for _DEF_NSY. Marked by: ^--…--^
₂) Hold key “<2” with either٭ key “<3” or “3>” for _BON, single hold “<2” for _ACC. Marked: ┗━━…━━┛
₃) 'South paw' hardware configuration. Configurable, default shown.
₄) 'Arrow' hardware configuration Configurable, default shown.
₃ ₄) There are two more optional hardware keys, to make it easier to compile for
a 12x12x12x11 or 12x12x12x12 layouts.
₅) Left Shift when pressed with another key. Medium long: to toggle _PAD. Long: toggle _MOV.
₆) Right shift when pressed with another key. medium long: to toggle _FUN. Long: toggle _RAR.
This layer input results in the same as normal Dvorak if computer side Dvorak remapping is occuring.
Only shown what changes:
'" ,< .> pP yY | fF gG cC rR lL // row 4, result
oO eE uU iI | dD hH tT nN sS -_ // row 3, result
;: qQ jJ kK xX | bB wW vV zZ // row 2, result
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
_ALT_NSY _ALT_NSY // row 1, result
(Keys for 'aA', '\|' and 'mM' are the same in Dvorak and Qwerty.)

Special feature: 'Descramble' mode
==================================
![Minivan descramble Dvorak](http://socialism.nl/misc/minivan/minivan_descramble.jpg)
This is an option to take care of typing normally on a computer already
set to Dvorak ('descramble' mode.)
Activation: go to `_RAR` layer, than touch what is space bar on the BASE layer
(the key just right from the middle on the first row). This cycles through the modes.
⮚ When the left led is white: normal mode.
⮚ Right led white: full descramble mode (Linux descrambled Unicode input).
⮚ Middle led white: half descramble mode, with normal Unicode input system.
With the middle led set to white, you can take advantage of a Unicode
input mode that works on your system, if it is the same when the
computer is set to Dvorak or not (see `_RAR` layer for Unicode input
encoding selection). This more or less means there is one more Unicode
encoding option than already standard in QMK: 'descrambled' version for
Linux (Shift-Control-U HEX) encoding, for use on a computer *already* set to
Dvorak.
To test it, (in Debian/Linux) go to a terminal in X and type (normal user)
> setxkbmap -layout us -variant dvorak
Undo:
> setxkbmap -layout us
Unicode on Windos operating system may require to install something special.
