+@pierrec83's personal keymap for the Ferris keyboard
+====================================================
+
+This keymap shares many commonalities with the default keymap.
+See its readme for a write-up on many of the decisions, including
+how to generate the formatted json file with json2crab.py and the
+general philosophy for each layer.
+
+Because this is my own keymap, I didn't refrain from using shortcuts
+that make sense for me and may not make sense for most.
+
+Key differences from the default keymap include:
+
+Alpha layers:
+-------------
+
+Because I only learned to touch type when I switched from qwerty to workman,
+my base layer is workman and my layout doesn't contain a qwerty layer.
+
+My layer 1 hosts a variant of RSTHD that I am developing, inspired from workman's
+focus on reducing side-index-motion. It should become my end game keymap eventually,
+but I still haven't found the time to learn it to a working proficiency.
+
+Secondary thumbs:
+-----------------
+
+Instead of a placeholder 0 and 1, the secondary thumbs on my keymap
+perform the following actions:
+* Navigate to previous and next workspace the base layer
+* Navigate to previous and next tab on the mouse layer
+* Volume control on layer
+* Brightness control on layer
+
+Mouse layer:
+------------
+
+* Copy/Paste shortcuts on the left hand, on the upper row.
+
+Always available layer:
+-----------------------
+
+* Esc and column are placed differently to allow easy vim navigation with the positions of w and q in the workman base layer
+* Enable permanent switch to the RSTHD layer in addition to the mouse layer
