+# Corvec's Planck Layout
+
+This layout is a development-focused layout with an emphasis on ergonomics. It is intended to be used in Colemak mode,
+but has a full-QWERTY mode for gaming compatibility.
+
+It utilizes redundancy for common keys so that they are more easily accessible in every task. For example, the common
+layers, Raise and Lower, both can be activated with two different keys, each pressed with either hand. Certain symbols
+( \~|+_ ) are on both layers, since the keys they take up are a bit out of the way. The minus symbol is available on the
+quote key in a variety of ways - both layers, as well as via tap dance.
+
+The right-hand Lower activation key activates a slightly different layer. The keys accessed by the opposite hand are the
+same as the Lower layer, but the keys on the right hand differ. For this reason, we refer to this instead as the
+Leandown layer.
+
+Auto-shift is enabled, but there are also three shift keys, since typing with auto-shift is by necessity slow.
+
+Movement is done Vim-style, on the hjkl / hnei keys, on the Lower layer so that it is easiest to activate it.
+The arrow keys are mimicked by Home/PgDn/PgUp/End on the next row.
+
+The arrow keys and broad navigation keys are replaced by a symbol-pad on the Leandown layer. However, in order to allow
+single-hand navigation, the bottom right corner cluster becomes arrow keys.
+
+Media keys are in the same location as the arrow keys, but are on the Wobble layer instead.
+
+Toggle layers are minimized so that the state of the keyboard is more predictable. Shift Toggle is in the works, but
+will not be included until it can be set to deactivate automatically.
+
+Delete is accessible from the third Shift key.
