1# Neo 2 for ErgoDox on QWERTY
2
3# Description
4
5The Neo layout is an optimized German keyboard layout developed by the
6Neo Users Group, supporting many Latin-based alphabets. The positions
7of the letters are not only optimized for German letter frequency,
8but also for typical groups of two or three letters. English is
9considered a primary target as well.
10
11The design tries to enforce the alternating usage of both hands to
12increase typing speed and incorporates ideas from de-ergo and other
13ergonomic layouts. High frequency keys are placed in the home row.
14The current layout Neo 2.0 has unique features making it suited for
15many target groups such as programmers, mathematicians, scientists or
16LaTeX authors.
17
18Neo is grouped into six layers, each dedicated to a special purpose.
19
20# Layers
21
22At the core this is a Neo 2.0 layout adjusted for the Ergodox Infinity.
23The keymap is laid out expecting a macOs using the US QWERTY or ABC
24Extended layout.
25
26[Layer 1](#layer-1) Lowercase, upppercase and typographical characters
27
28[Layer 2](#layer-2) Special characters for programming
29
30[Layer 3](#layer-3) WASD-like movement keys and number block
31
