[Plover][] is an awesome open source stenography program, but to run the software [you need an NKRO keyboard][nkro]. The [ErgoDox keyboard][ergodox] can be made to run in NKRO mode by following these steps.

Install dependencies

These instructions are based on this document, which assumes you're using Windows. I'm using a mac, and I had to download and install the [CrossPack for AVR Development][crosspack] before the build process worked.

Download the source

The NKRO firmware and Plover keymap can be found in the simon_layout branch of @shayneholmes fork of tmk_keyboard. Get the source:

vim -Nu NONE inspect-registers.vim

Source the file:

:source %

If you [use Homebrew][brew.sh], you can get Vim with +clipboard by running:

brew install vim

Here's a gist from running [/usr/local/bin/vim --version][brew].
