+
+/*
+This is the basic NQN layout
+
+It consists of a block of 5x3, 5x4, 6x3, or 6x4 for each hand. This allows us
+to use these blocks for a variety of keyboards like the planck, preonic and
+even splits like the ergodox.
+
+You can see that we use some quirky preprocessor defines to achive what we
+desire. In the future I would like to see qmk taking a more generic approach
+like the KLL.
+
+The naming convention for these blocks is
+ L<LAYER>_<SIDE>_<ROW>
+
+ The LAYER is a number following the neo2 manner starting at 1 for the base
+ layer, 2 is shift, 3 is for special chars etc.
+
+ SIDE is, well either the left or right side/half of a keyboard.
+
+ The ROW is starting from the top, numbering beginning at 1.

+# not-quite-neo
+
+This is my personal take on porting the [neo2 layout](https://www.neo-layout.org/) to support both a ergodox (infinity) and a planck keyboard. Some sacrifices needed to be made, hence this layout is not-quite-neo.
+
+## Use case
+My use case is simple:
+
+* I want to use neo2 (or a keymap as close as possible) on any computer I can plug my keyboards in. Because installing the neo2 SW driver is often not a acceptable solution.
+* Since most computers I work on (colleagues, family, etc.) use a de-DE keymap, I can not use the official neo2 implementation, because it relies on a us layout and I often times do not even posses the administration rights to change that.
+* neo2 makes use of most of the keys of a standard 104 key keyboard, especially for supporting the planck I needed to deviate from the original neo2 layout in order to fit everything I wanted.
+
+Therefore, I put all reusable code in the users/not-quite-neo directory and created a custom not-quite-neo keymap for the planck and the ergodox infinity keyboard respectively.
+
+## Pitfalls
+Mind, since neo2 is a SW driver supported layout it offers a lot of features that are hard to support in hardware (especially the fancy utf stuff with math symbols and greek letters etc.).
+
+Right now this implementation only incompletely supports neo2 layers 1 to 4.
+
+The biggest difference is probably the support for the German Umlauts ä, ö, ü and the ß. Since we rely on a smaller number of keys some glyphs needed to be created otherwise. See the implementation in [nqn-basic-layout.h](nqn-basic-layout.h) for details.
+
+## Keyboards and keymaps
+
+You can find the *not-quite-neo* keymap for the ergodox infinity under [qmk_firmware/keyboards/ergodox_infinity/keymaps/not-quite-neo/](../../keyboards/ergodox_infinity/keymaps/not-quite-neo/readme.md). Respectively the keymap for the planck resides in [qmk_firmware/keyboards/planck/keymaps/not-quite-neo/](../../keyboards/planck/keymaps/not-quite-neo/readme.md)
