+# This is u/TurboMech's keyboard layout for Espectro.
+
+## It is designed for Mac OS, due to the specific functions created.
+
+### Here is the layout found in the keymap.c file.
+##### I use shortcuts for the Function row (above number row) listed below
+ - Scrn Bright Up: F14
+ - Scrn Bright Down: F15
+ - Expose: LCTRL + Up
+ - Launchpad: LCTRL + L
+ - Show Desktop: F11
+ - Show/Hide Dock: LALT + LGUI + D
+ - Screen Capture: LCTRL + S
+ - Custom Shortcut 1: LCTRL + LGUI + 1
+ - Custom Shortcut 2: LCTRL + LGUI + 2
+ - use the custom shortcuts for whatever you want: launch an application, a macro, etc.
+ - Play/Pause: exactly that
+ - Mute / Volume Up / Volume Down: exactly what it says
+ - QALL: Quit all applications
+
+ ##### Going down the right side from Vol Down:
+ - POWER: this serves as the power button on Mac's only. Press and hold the button as you would on your Macbook or iMac keyboard.
+ - Menu: this slides the notification bar on the right side (its the same as on iPhones/ iPads)
+
+### See below keymaps for how to setup shortcuts on Mac
+
+#### Base Layer
+```
+Needs updating.

+#### Function Layer 1 - See above for shortcuts
+```
+Needs updating

+
+#### How to use/ setup shortcuts on Mac
+- First navigate to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
+ - You can use any of them in here
+ - Just set them to the shortcut keys listed above
+
+#### How to make your own (to launch applications, quit all, etc.)
+- Navigate to Automator > New Document > click Service > Choose
+- Now we have to setup our shortcut
+ - Here's how to setup the Quit All Shortcut
+ - In the right window select the Service recieves dropdown > select No Input
+ - At the top left click the Name (Search) > type quit > click and hold Quit All Applications > drag to the right hand box (under the Service Recieves)
+ - **IMPORTANT** You have to click the Run button at the upper right hand corner in order for these to actually work.
+ - Now click File > Save > save it as Quit All Apps (or whatever you want) / you can also just exit out and it'll ask you if you want to save
+- Navigate back to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
+ - The new shortcut can be found under services, set it to one of the shortcuts I listed above and done
+- The same applies for applications in the Name (search) just type the application you want to have as shortcut. Don't forget to run it, then do the same steps
+ to set it up as a shortcut.
