[Keymap] Updates to ortho_4x12/buswerks keymap (#4996)
* Added buswerks keymap * cleaned up comments on buswerks keymap * Added buswerks keymap readme.md * Fixed spelling in buswerks readme.md * Removed unnecessary includes, changed process_record_user to now use set_single_persistent_default_layer(), removed deprecated functions, and moved the audio ifdef block to config.h * Changed buswerks ortho_4x12 layout to accommodate 'MIT' layout * Updated README.md to reflect layout changes * update buswerks keymap * add buswerks tragicforce68 keymap * add rotary encoder support * update readme * fix image link in readme * fix KC_NO shorthand

-Buswerks' 4x12 Ortholinear Layout
-============================
-For use on Planck, Let's Split, and similar keyboards
+![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/yx9tFUq.png)
-### Layout Overview
+# Logan's Ortho 4x12 Layout
-- Main Layer
- - Enter is located on the Raise key (layer-tap)
- - Space Cadet shift keys
- - Lower + shift keys = Brackets[]
- - Raise + shift keys = Braces{}
- - The bottom left key is the Adjust modifier
- - Escape is in the traditional Caps Lock position
- - Holding down the escape key acts as LGUI (intended for macOS use)
-- Lower
- - There is a numpad on the right hand (4, 5, and 6 are located under JKL/NEI/HTN)
- - Plus and minus keys are located to the right of the numpad
- - There are macOS desktop navigation keys and volume controls under the left hand
+This layout is what I use on my Planck. Some features of the layout:
-- Raise
- - Vim-style arrow keys
- - Below the arrow keys are home, end, pgup, and pgdn
- - Symbols are located on the right side of the keyboard, in a somewhat logical order
- - Symbols from the number row are in order, starting on the left pinky.
- - Equals and underscore are in easily accessible spots, since they're commonly used in programming
- - The ampersand is less common, so it's to the right of the equals symbol
-
-- Adjust
- - Function keys are located along the top row (reset is moved to the Colemak 'R' position) \ No newline at end of file
+- Rotary encoder support (no function for clicking yet)
+- Numpad under right hand (I find this much more comfortable than touch-typing the number row)
+- Space cadet shift
+- Curly braces are under the home row (makes programming much more comfortable)
+
+Also, another note: the QWERTY layout uses `LGUI_T(KC_ESC)` and the COLEMAK/DVORAK layouts use `LCTL_T(KC_ESC)`. This is because I use the QWERTY layout on my Mac laptop so that I don't have to change the software remapping every time I dock my laptop. This also allows a convenient remapping of the modifier keys. I use the hardware mapped COLEMAK layout on Linux.
