- # Documentation Templates
- This page documents the templates you should use when submitting new Keymaps and Keyboards to QMK.
- ## Keymap `readme.md` Template {#keyboard-readmemd-template}
- Most keymaps have an image depicting the layout. You can use [Keyboard Layout Editor](http://keyboard-layout-editor.com) to create an image. Upload it to [Imgur](https://imgur.com) or another hosting service, please do not include images in your Pull Request.
- Below the image you should write a short description to help people understand your keymap.

- # Default Clueboard Layout
- This is the default layout that comes flashed on every Clueboard. For the most
- part it's a straightforward and easy to follow layout. The only unusual key is
- the key in the upper left, which sends Escape normally, but Grave when any of
- the Ctrl, Alt, or GUI modifiers are held down.
