  16 This is more similar to a standard keyboard layout than the standard planck
  17 layout, but I have found that this is better for programming, especially for
  18 editor shortcuts.

  32 All the numbers are on one hand so that they can all be easily accessed when
  33 playing games. The punctuation was placed in a way that is as similar as
  34 possible the qwerty punctuation layout on a standard keyboard.

  78 This Layer is activated when pressing both the Lower and Raise keys. The Arrow
  79 and Numpad keys each activate a layer between the base layer and the Movement
  80 layer. The Qwerty key disables both of the layers leaving just the base layer
  81 active.
