# Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is my user space, main goal is to unify the experience between different
|
||
|
|
keyboard models and operating systems.
|
||
|
|
My native language is German and I almost exclusively use keyboards in the
|
||
|
|
US-ANSI layout. I find this layout the most practical for programming as
|
||
|
|
far as the placement of special characters is concerned. However, when I write
|
||
|
|
in German, I miss a few special characters like umlauts, etc.
|
||
|
|
Since I also use different operating systems (MacOS, Linux and Windows)
|
||
|
|
and especially Windows and MacOS behave very differently regarding the input
|
||
|
|
of such characters (under Linux there is at least the Compose key).
|
||
|
|
So I needed a hardware solution, and that's how I came to QMK.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here are defined some key codes to put the keyboard in different modes
|
||
|
|
(Mac, Windows, Linux) and the corresponding functions to make the input.
|
||
|
|
And some logic to store the respective mode and load it at boot time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You'll find a proper layout here: [keyborads/id80/keymaps/rverst](../../keyboards/id80/keymaps/rverst)
