+# smt's TV44 keymap
+
+This keymap is based on a combination of my Planck keymap and [jeebak's TV44 layout](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/tv44/keymaps/jeebak). I removed the macros and TouchCursor/MouseCursor layers, because I'm just not ready for that level of mind-mapping.
+
+I had been using something close to the default Minivan layout, but after spending a bit of time with the Planck and Preonic, I decided it would be better for me to try to standardize to some degree, where possible.
+
+Also, it's worth noting that my Minivan is one with the "arrows" layout, which has a 45th key, so I had to define a new KEYMAP_TV45 macro in config.h. In spite of this, the 45-key Minivan is still technically considered a "TV44" as far as I know.

+
+## Notable features (most of which can be found in my or jeebak's respective keymap file):
+
+1. **Shift/Enter**
+
+    I use both the left and right shift keys when I type. When I want to modify a key with shift, I hold shift with the hand opposite the one typing the key. In the default keymap, Enter is where shift would be on a standard keyboard layout. Oh, muscle memory.
+
+    Thankfully, QMK supports [mod-tap](https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware/wiki#fun-with-modifier-keys) keys, and this allows me to set the Enter key to send a modifier (MOD_LSFT) when held, and KC_ENT when tapped. Awesome!
+
+2. **Hyper/Tab**
+
+    This key modifies with "Hyper" (see [Brett Terpstra's post](http://brettterpstra.com/2012/12/08/a-useful-caps-lock-key/) on this) when held, and outputs the code for Tab when tapped. On the Mac, I use KeyboardMaestro to remap my hyper-keys to do a lot of crazy things.
+
+3. **Ctrl/Escape**
+    
+    I set up another mod-tap, this time for the Escape key that would act as a Control modifier when held.
+    
+4. **Alt/Backtick**
+
+    I don't currently have LEDs on most of my keyboards, and I certainly don't want LED controls on the base layer of a 40%.
+
+    So, why use backtick in the lower left corner? I use it as my tmux prefix key, so I need to type it more frequently than most people. Putting it on the base layer works well for my use case, and it's consistent with where I place it in my Planck and Preonic keymaps.
+
+    I also like Alt in that position, so it works well as yet another mod-tap key.

+### Lower
+
+This is where I put the number row, two numpad clusters, common arithmetic operators, and cursorkeys: Arrow cluster, Home/End, Page Up/Page Down. `0` and `$` are also placed on the left side for convenient access to beginning-of-line and end-of-line Vim commands. BRITE has been moved here from the base layer.

+### Raise
+
+As a developer, it makes the most sense for me to group all the commonly-used symbols that don't fit on the main layer. In particular, having the dual-column of parens-braces-brackets helps me keep them straight. I've dropped basic media controls onto this layer as well.

+### Adjust (Lower + Raise)

+Utility layer. There isn't much here; it's mainly for swapping the default keymap between Qwerty and Dvorak, or putting the keyboard into flash mode via the Reset key.
