-## Background
-
-This layout is built to be as familiar as possible for users coming directly from a default (QWERTY US) keyboard, while gaining as much advantage as possible from the ErgoDox and QMK featureset. I use an ErgoDoxEZ at home, but I don't have a regular office (CS grad student) so I regularly use either my laptop or a default-setup lab computer; I context switch daily so this layout is meant to reduce the mental overhead as much as possible.
-
-The default ErgoDoxEZ layout is probably more optimized as a solo daily driver - as are a lot of the others available keymaps. The focus of this layout is to get as much from the 'Dox as possible without overly disrupting long-established muscle memory.
-
-Key features of the familiar layout:
-1. QWERTY default layout.
-1. International symbols layer, mapped in the US-International layout default positions, through [UCIS](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/wiki/Unicode-and-additional-language-support#ucis_enable).
-1. Numpad layer on right hand.
-1. Thumb cluster holds spacebar and access to secondary layers.
-1. Function-layer arrow keys in both the first-person-shooter (actually ESDF instead of WASD) and vim (HJKL) locations.
-
-## Install
-
-If you are on Windows or Mac, choose the proper line in [`keymap.c`](keymap.c) for [unicode/international character support](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/wiki/Unicode-and-additional-language-support#ucis_enable) (starts at line 253).
-```c
-void matrix_init_user(void) {
- set_unicode_input_mode(UC_LNX); // Linux
- //set_unicode_input_mode(UC_OSX); // Mac OSX
- //set_unicode_input_mode(UC_WIN); // Windows (with registry key, see wiki)
- //set_unicode_input_mode(UC_WINC); // Windows (with WinCompose, see wiki)
-};
-```
-
-For instructions on building and installing this keymap, [go to the wiki](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/ergodox#build-dependencies). Below is the command for me; it may be different for you.
-```sh
-$ make ergodox-ez-familiar-teensy
-```

-### Layers
-1. Base Layer: QWERTY, with arrow keys at bottom right.
-1. UCIS Layer: US-International symbols layer, plus —. Accessed by toggling the `SYMB` layer using the UCIS key (bottom of left thumb cluster).
-1. UCIS-Shifted Layer: Making shift work for UCIS characters. An ugly workaround. Any ideas? Accessed by holding shift while the `SYMB` layer is active (toggles the `CSYM` layer).
-1. Numpad Layer: Right hand number pad. Accessed by toggling the `NUMP` layer using the NUMP key (bottom of right thumb cluster).
-1. Function Layer: F1-F12, arrows on ESDF and HJKL, media player controls. Accessed by holding either FN key (center key of each thumb cluster), which toggles the `ARRW` layer. I know, I need to work on my naming conventions.

-
-I'm terrible at this; I have no background in human-computer interaction, kinesiology, or keyboard-ology. Please send comments/issues/pull requests/angry tweets/etc. If you think there is a better way to take advantage of the ErgoDox/QMK comination without straying far from 84/101-key QWERTY, I want to know it.
-
-### Issues
-1. The `CSYM` layer is an ugly workaround. I should write a function for doing different things in the `SYMB` layer depending on whether SHIFT is being held. Or something. Ideas?
-1. Right now, the thumb cluster function keys double as slash and whack... this really isnt a great solution.
-1. `MENU` and `LEAD` are useless, at the moment.
