-# Townk's Keymap
-
-Trying to take care of an enjury on my arm I borrow an ergonomic keyboard from
-a frient ([Kinesis Advantage](http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/shop/advantage-pro-for-pc-mac/)).
-
-I really enjoyed my time with it but there were some anoyancies:
-
-* The curvature on the keys bothered me since I'm a Vim user and using the
- motion keys on my editor was awkard.
-* I had to spend too much time remapping the keyboard to make some symbol keys
- more accessible to me.
-* The fact that my hands had to stay close to each other was a bit stressfull
- to my sholders.
-
-After a long research I find out that Ergodox EZ would be perfect for my needs
-and purchase one. Before the keyboard even got in my hands I started to think
-on the layout I would use on it and soon enough I planed couple adjustments
-from the Kinesis I was using so far.
-
-## The layout
-
-Here are the layout mapping in images so you can have a glimpse on it:
-
-![Base Layout](townk_osx_base.png)
-![fn Layout](townk_osx_fn.png)
-![Keypad & Mouse Layout](townk_osx_keypad.png)
-
-Notice that, differently from the default behavior, my layer keys are not transparent
-by default, which means that if you press any non-labeled white key, nothing will be
-handled to the OS.
-
-### One shot keys
-
-It all started with the access to the function keys (F1, F2, F3...), since
-those keys are located on a different layer I needed a way to press them with
-minimal effort without disrupting my flow.
-
-For me, togglihg a layer to press a button and than toggle it back is a waste
-of time (although I admit it's a single tap from what I have), so I decided to
-do it as a one shot key. I could press it and the next pressed key would be
-handled by the target layer which just after it delivers the key to the OS it
-would get back to the previous layer.
-
-After setting up my layout to do just that I realized that occasionally I
-would stop myseld on the middle of the process and the one shot layer would be
-still triggered until I press any other key. So to prevent me from tapping
-keys I don't want I added a timeout of 3 seconds for the one shot actions.
-
-Ultimately I tested the shift key as a one shot one and really like it, so
-here you have it, all the one shot keys on my layout.
-
