#MogranJM's Nyquist layout

```
make nyquist/rev1:DivergeJM
```

This keymap is based on my Terminus_Mini (../../../terminus\_mini/default) layout (credit for the names of these layouts goes to UniKeyboard & reddit's /u/blahlicus)

The terminus_mini is a handwired 4x12 ortholinear keyboard with two 2U thumb bar keys. This implementation of the layout converts it to a split 5x12 (two halves, each 5x6) keyboard with a 2U thumb key on the inner bottom corner of each half. 

The TERMINUS\_MINI layout (../../../terminus_mini/terminus_mini.h) is handwired and the 2U keys are handled using KC_NO to detail that two columns do not have a 4th column. This layout is based on a PCB, so the keymap represents the 2U keys as duplicates of the same 1U key.

### Base Layer - Colemak
The base layout is Colemak by default. Since the CapsLock key is replaced with BackSpace, this layout has the delete key in the traditional backspace location. 

* QWERTY and Dvorak layers are accessible via the Adjust layer using the standard case switch macro as defined in the default Planck keymap.
* I've implemented COLEMAK = SAFE\_RANGE when enumerating the custom\_keycodes, but I don't actually know what this does...
* Space cadet is implemented in the shift keys (hold for shift, tap for respective parentheses)
* I never find myself using the right-modifiers on a standard keyboard, so I've only implemented LGUI and LALT. I have intentions of improving my use of the ctrl key in correct hand alternation, so CTRL is implemented in both outside corners of the home row.

### Alternate Base Layers - QWERTY & Dvorak

#### Layer Shifting
* The 4th key on the bottom row of the left hand PCB is used to access the *LOWER* layer via Tap/Toggle
* The left 2U key is a **TAP_KEY** macro - Hold for momentary *LOWER* layer, Tap for Space.
* The right 2U key is a **TAP_KEY** macro - Hold for momentary *RAISE* layer, Tap for Enter
* The 2nd key on the bottom row of the right hand PCB is a **LAYER_MOMENTARY** for the *FUNCTION* layer
* The 3rd key on the bottom row of the right hand PCB is a **TAP_TOGGLE** macro for the *MOUSE* layer

The base layout is Colemak. Since the CapsLock key is replaced with BackSpace, this layout has the delete key in the traditional backspace location. 

* QWERTY and Dvorak layers have been removed from the keymap that was initially developed from the default Planck keymap.
* I've implemented COLEMAK = SAFE\_RANGE when enumerating the custom\_keycodes, but I don't actually know what this does...

* Space cadet is implemented in the shift keys (hold for shift, tap for respective parentheses)
* I never find myself using the right-modifiers on a standard keyboard, so I've only implemented LGUI and LALT. I have intentions of improving my use of the ctrl key in correct hand alternation, so CTRL is implemented in both outside corners of the home row.

### LOWER - Numpad & Navigation keys
```

 |------+------+------+------+------+------|    |------+------+------+------+------+------| 
 | LSPO |   Z  |   X  |   C  |   V  |      |    |   1  |   2  |   3  | Enter|      | RSPC | 
 |------+------+------+------+-------------|    |-------------+------+------+------+------| 
 | Ctrl | LGUI | Alt  | LOWER| Space/Lower |    |      0      |  \.  |  Fn  |ADJUST| Ctrl | 
 `-----------------------------------------'    `-----------------------------------------' 
```
The *LOWER* layer contains a navigation cluster on the left hand and a numpad on the right. This layer is momentary when the left thumb-bar or LOWER key is held and toggled on/off when the LOWER key is tapped.

The Navigation cluster is offset to the right compared to the traditional **WASD** nav cluster. With this implementation, you don't need to move your hand from the home position when navigating. Page Up & Down keys are found on the far left of the cluster.

All unused (blank on the above keymap) keys are locked out using the XXXXXXX filler (KC_NO), all modifiers (edge |_| keys \[except 0, \. & Fn\] on the 
above keymap) and the ZXCV cluster are transparent (_______) to the Base layer.

The ADJUST layer can be accessed via the second from right key on the bottom row. This layer contains a keymap that is used to change the base layer.

[] TO DO!! - It would be nice to have a **TAP_DANCE_DOUBLE** implementation whereby a double tap of the right 2U key sends KC_PENT
* Couldn't get this to work in Rev1, produced an error in the Make process.
* When this is done, I can remove the clunky double Enter on the 4th column of the right hand PCB (numpad enter).

```
The *RAISE* layer contains the symbols. This layer is momentary when the right thumb bar is held.

* Standard symbols can be found on the row above home, in the traditional number row order as they occur on a standard keyboard.
* Shifted symbols can be found on the second-from bottom row, above the bars - these include brackets, braces, grave and pipe keys.
	* At this stage, you need to shift to get to the Tilde key. I'd like to remove the shift requirement as I've done with the "|" Pipe, but we'll see. 
	* Special operators for R (Pointer: <- and dplyr pipe: %>%) can be found next to the left shift key
* The bottom row of this layer is a replication of that of the Base layer, except that the **TAP_TOGGLE** *LOWER* key is blocked with **XXXXXXX**.

### FUNCTION - Function & Media keys

'-----------------------------------------'     '-----------------------------------------'
```
The *FUNCTION* layer contains media keys as well as the F-row. This layer is momentary and requires Fn to be held.

* The media cluster is based on the nav cluster in the *LOWER* layer, with RW, PP & FF in the Left, Down & Right positions.
* Mute, and Vol +/- are next to each other in ascending (L->R) volume order, Stop is below Mute.
* Insert, Print Screen, Scroll Lock & Pause Break are all implemented on the far right column. I don't really use these keys so their position is not optimised.
* Caps lock is implemented on this layer, in the traditional position, in place of BackSpace on the Base layer.

### MOUSE - Mouse keys: The functionality of this layer is not as optimal as using a true mouse, generally slower but will work in a pinch.

 '----------------------------------------'     '----------------------------------------'
 ```
The *MOUSE* layer contains keys replicating functions found on the mouse. 

* The navigation cluster (Up, Down, Left, Right) is a replication of the Navigation cluster on the *LOWER* layer. The scroll keys are analagous to the Page Up & down keys.
* The primary click (right & left) buttons are on the right home row (index & middle fingers)
* Secondary click buttons are above the standard keys (M3/Wheel click, M4, M5) but I do not use this function.

### ADJUST - Keyboard Settings: Primarily used to change the base layer at this stage
