+ differently if they are double tapped, etc. should be avoided -- they
+ inevitably send their keycode later than a normal key -- interrupting the
immediate feedback from the screen. Therefore we restrict ourselves to
chording as our only means of getting more than one symbol out of a single
physical key.
- There should be two of every modifier (one on each side), otherwise certain
long key combinations become hard to make.
-We have five layers. A `BASE` layer, in colemak; a `MOVE` layer, with an arrow
-cluster, other movement keys, and hotkeys; a `SYMB` layer, with numbers and
-symbols; a `FUNC` layer, with function keys and media keys; and a `MORE` layer,
-with stuff that doesn’t fit anywhere else. The `MORE` layer is activated by
-holding the Move and Symb keys simultaniously.

+management keys).
