# [Ergodox EZ Hacker Dvorak Layout](https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/layouts/Wadz/latest/0)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Inspired by the [*Programmer Dvorak*](https://www.kaufmann.no/roland/dvorak) keyboard layout, cherry picked ideas from other layouts in the [EZ Repository](https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/search?q=dvorak&legacy=true), a character distribution [heatmap vizualizer](https://run.plnkr.co/plunks/5EEO8nJ2wRzYAfT3), my own subjective use cases and lots of trial and error.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configure your OS keyboard layout to US, or the keymap will be incorrect.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Limitations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I plan to use [QMK](https://docs.qmk.fm) in the future, in order to overcome some limitations of the Ergodox EZ [graphical configurator](https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/layouts/default/latest/0)), however I will defer that, until more progress is made to the new [configurator](https://medium.com/the-ergo/the-configurator-is-out-of-beta-e107aec80cae).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Layers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Dvorak
|
||
|
|
* US Dvorak layout.
|
||
|
|
* All symbols (including shifted symbols).
|
||
|
|
* All modifier are dual keys positioned near the home row.
|
||
|
|
2. Querty
|
||
|
|
* Used to overcome the limitation pointed above, when your OS layout is set to Dvorak instead of US, this way you can use
|
||
|
|
Standard Dvorak (available by default on all the main operating systems) on other normal keybdoards and Hacker Dvorak on
|
||
|
|
the Ergodox EZ Shine at the same time, without changing back and forth tho OS layout.
|
||
|
|
3. Gaming
|
||
|
|
* Still in development.
|
||
|
|
* Left side is mainly "normal" Qwerty.
|
||
|
|
* Right side is mainly for movement, either using the mouse, the arrow keys, the number pad or the `H`, `J`, `K`, `L` as direction keys.
|
||
|
|
4. Arrows
|
||
|
|
* Arrow keys navigation.
|
||
|
|
* All modifier keys.
|
||
|
|
* Common text edititng shortcuts (doesn't work for MacOS).
|
||
|
|
