## Caveats

In its current state, this keymap is fairly Mac-centric. Some of the features
implemented in the Mac layers have not yet been ported to the corresponding
Windows layers.

## Building

To build this layout, open a command window in the root directory of this
repository and run:

```bash
make ergodox_ez:nfriend
```

This will create a `.build/ergodox_ez_nfriend.hex` file which can be flashed
using the [Teensy loader](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html). After the
`.hex` file has been loaded into Teensy, the keyboard can be reprogrammed by
pressing the bottom-right key of the right half of the keyboard and the
top-right key of the left half (the <kbd>RESET</kbd> key in the screenshot
above).

## Developing

Use the template in `./template.c` to help create new layers quickly.

This layout was originally based on [this EZ Configurator
configuration](https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/x9MWL/latest/0).
