+# Salty's Kinesis Keymap
+
+These layouts are derived from what I was using on my Kinesis Contoured keyboards through TMK converters. With the move to QMK through Stapelberg replacement controller, I've cleaned up the layouts a bit while adding number/symbol layer.
+
+There are only minor changes in the base keywell layout (e.g., CapsLock is ESC, arrow clusters on one side), while the thumb clusters deviate more from the default layout.
+
+Changes to the thumb clusters include:
+* The navigations keys moved to Fn layers.
+* The function of 2u keys have been reversed - I've always used space with my left thumb, and I find it more helpful to have access to Space and Enter while using my mouse/trackball.
+* Enter and Backspace have been duplicated on both clusters.
+* The 2u keys serve dual function as momentary layer switchers.
+
+I'm frequently fiddle around with the layouts as I find certain things I want to try out.
