A few general +principles went into this layout: + +* The number row is optional, as are the outermost bottom row keys and the +"extra" keys on the innnermost columns below the controllers. This will enable +easy translation to a Crkbd or similar 40% ortho if I go that route. + +* Space and Enter are on the big thumb keys so they're easy to press +(particularly with G20 or other low-profile keycaps there). + +* There are two shift keys because really, Right Shift is important. + +* Arrow keys are on VIM-style HJKL keys. + +* Home/End and Page Up/Page Down are easy to reach and in a square kind of like +on the HHKB. + +* Navigation should be usable with just the right hand, to enable left-handed +mousing at the same time. Additionally, Web page scrolling (Space, Shift+Space) +should be possible with just the left hand, for writing at the same time as +scrolling. + +* Escape is easy to reach because Vim. + +* Since most of the modifiers are on the left half, keys frequently pressed +together with mods (e.g., numbers, function keys, etc.) are on the Raise layer +activated by the right thumb. + +* Every key on a TKL has a binding. + +* Backspace is bound in the same place on every layer to avoid having to let go +of layer-shift keys to fix a mistake. + +* Likewise, the comma and period keys are not rebound on the raise layer to +allow typing numbers with thousand separators and decimal points without +releasing the layer key. + +* Brackets and braces are on or near the home row for quick access when coding. + +* Other than Right Shift (sorry), modifiers aren't rebound on layers. + +## Default layer + + + +([KLE](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/e0eb3af65961e9fd612dcff3ddd88e4f)) + +## Lower layer + + + +([KLE](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/19ad0d3b5d745fbb2818db09740f5a11)) + +## Raise layer + + + +([KLE](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/912be7955f781cdaf692cc4d4c0b5823)) + +## Adjust layer + + + +([KLE](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/8f6a3f08350a9bbe1d414b22bca4e6c7)) |
