+# Overview
+
+This is my user space, main goal is to unify the experience between different
+keyboard models and operating systems.
+My native language is German and I almost exclusively use keyboards in the
+US-ANSI layout. I find this layout the most practical for programming as
+far as the placement of special characters is concerned. However, when I write
+in German, I miss a few special characters like umlauts, etc.
+Since I also use different operating systems (MacOS, Linux and Windows)
+and especially Windows and MacOS behave very differently regarding the input
+of such characters (under Linux there is at least the Compose key).
+So I needed a hardware solution, and that's how I came to QMK.
+
+Here are defined some key codes to put the keyboard in different modes
+(Mac, Windows, Linux) and the corresponding functions to make the input.
+And some logic to store the respective mode and load it at boot time.
+
+You'll find a proper layout here: [keyborads/id80/keymaps/rverst](../../keyboards/id80/keymaps/rverst)
