# laurentlaurent's Preonic keyboard
Largely similar to his [ErgoDox EZ](https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/jZpmo/latest/0)'s layout
## Features
### Special Modifiers for Global Shortcuts
* Hyper key (Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+Shift)
* CAG key (Ctrl+Alt+Cmd)
* Meh key (Ctrl+Alt+Shift)
### Home Row modifiers
* Home Row modifiers (hold F/J to use CMD/Ctrl, D/L for Alt, ... )
* Separate layers for Mac and Windows keyboard to improve muscle memory linked to Home Row modifiers (CMD is mapped to F and J on Mac, CTRL for Windows)
* Extra CMD/CTRL key mapped to Z for one-handed CMD+F/CTRL+F
### Qwerty Layout improvements
* Backspace and Enter are on bottom row (next to Space bar)
* = is where Esc would be expected to be
* "-" is where Backspace would be expected to be
* Grave is where LCTRL would be expected to be
* Esc is where Alt (on Mac)/Win (on PC) would be expected to be
* Del is where CMD (on Mac)/Alt (on PC) would be expected to be
* Hyper key replaces Caps Lock
### Mod taps
* Home Row modifiers
* Lower and Raise are Backspace on tap
* Holding = is CAG (CTRL+ALT+CMD)
* Holding Esc is MEH (Ctrl+Shift+Alt)
* Right Shift is bound to RShift on hold, Backspace on tap
* Spacebar acts like a LShift on hold, Spacebar on tap
* In instances where repeated keys is needed:
* Tap then tap-hold repeats the key
* Lower, Raise (and most other layers) turns off mod-tap on most keys
* Music layer disables all key mappings, Gaming layer disables modtaps
### Layer Switching
* Layer switcher key, used to switch layout (allows use of _NAV, _NUM layout without holding their layer keys)
* **Punctuation layer** accessible by holding Tab, Backslash or Backspace
* Grave switches to **One-Handed layer** on hold
* **Mouse and arrow key layer** accessible by holding ; or A
* Del switches to **Numpad** on hold
* Enter switches to **Extra layer** on hold
* Extra layer will be used for applications shortcuts
