# Michael Stapelberg’s keymap for the Kinesis Advantage
I adjust the thumb block mapping slightly to have a standard set of modifiers
(Control, Alt, GUI/Windows, Right Alt) and Escape available conveniently.
Specifically, my keymap makes the following changes:
* Left thumb block:
* Swap `Delete` with `Escape` (top left), from my Vim days :)
* The `Home` key on the left thumb block is replaced by `Left GUI/Windows`.
* Right thumb block:
* The top left key on the right thumb block produces `Right Alt`.
## Corresponding Kinesis configuration
My keymap corresponds to the following Kinesis configuration tool settings:
```
[escape]>[delete]
[rwin]>[ralt]
[delete]>[escape]
[home]>[lwin]
[intl-\]>[kp-insert]
```
Note: the last line makes the international key (labeled `|`, `\` and `Insert`)
produce `Insert`, which is default with QMK, but not default Kinesis.
