+# Full-featured Corne layout for Linux and MacOS
+
+This is a generic layout for Corne, especially for someone who:
+
+* has to type in English
+* occasionally has to type in Swedish
+* Switches regularly between Linux and MacOS
+* Prioritizes text navigation
+ * This includes selecting whole lines and deleting words
+* uses VIM or VIM bindings for text navigation
+* uses the 'compose' feature in Linux and uses the 'mac user dictionary' trick for getting compose features
+* Home row modifiers for optimal ergo (hopefully optimal)
+
+This also features:
+* OLED displays:
+ * indicating OS and LED status (scroll lock, numlock, caps, compose) on the master side
+ * layer and modifiers on the slave side
+* LED lights:
+ * color changes to indicate layer and modifier status
+ * LED matrix effects around keypresses
+
+## Major notes
+
+### OS 'detection'
+* I assume MacOS as the default. Using the ctrl/gui swap magic keycode switches everything to Linux
+ * Most of the Linux codes should work in Windows
+ * Yes, there are lots of if-statements around which key code to send here... this isn't the most sustainable way to do it, but is the most memory-efficient way I could come up with
+
+### RGB matrix effects
+* Not all RGB matrix effects are compatible with changing the color on layer/mod change. Some of them get caught in a loop and freeze half of the keyboard, so beware of which ones you activate
+* Some RGB settings are stored in eeprom (despite me using the `noeeprom()` version of functions) If something is weird, try clearing eeprom
+* The color-changing function probably _should_ be in the `layer_state_set_user` function, except that function doesn't give the state of the modifiers. So instead I have it done in a call that updates the OLEDs
+
+### LED state explicitly not shared
+* For some reason, sharing the LED state (as a split keyboard function) will cause the slave side of the keyboard to freeze up if you type too fast. Don't do it!
+
+### Windowing shortcuts
+* Again, MacOS is assumed to be the default so I changed as many Linux shortcuts as I could to make them compatible with MacOS. Some of them don't have default shortcuts defined (such as 'move window left' or 'launch calculator') so I just made those as needed
+
+### Right-shift preferred
+* At the time of this writing, left-shift wasn't always being registered as a modifier key when checking modmasks, so I stuck with everything using right-shift as it had the expected effects
+
+### Compose key
+* I used [macos compose](https://github.com/Granitosaurus/macos-compose)
