Beginner's keymap emulates standard QWERTY keyboard for beginners. Once you get comfortable with the Ergodox-EZ, you may fork this keymap and customize it for your own needs or find a suitable one from the community contributed keymaps.
* Made A key double as MEDIA Layer change when you hold it. Added mouse buttons to the large thumb buttons on the left side on the Media Layer. Added vi/vim style arrow keys on HJKL on media layer.
My experimental layout, that I keep tweaking. No full description here, because things are very much in flux.

Layer 1 is the JP layer. Keys on this layer correspond to singleton keys, or keys on the bottom row where a key is shared. For example, pressing the "ふ や" key outputs `ふ` (or "fu").

The four big orange keys are arranged differently than in the default Ergodox EZ layout. The Ordinary Layout here copies the design of the old Fingerworks TouchStream keyboard, but also reflects the natural presumptions of the author -- me!

This layer is a substantial extension of the Media layer on the Ergodox EZ default layout. The Fingerworks TouchStream keyboard had a very useful feature for controlling the text cursor easily and this layer does something similar. The left hand can move the mouse, the right hand moves the text cursor, in all four directions, in small or large increments. This greatly enhances navigation in text documents.
