 This was originally based on the default keyboard map, but I have been
 doing sundry experimentation:

- * To figure things out about the toolset
- * I'm an Emacs guy, so will be needing a fair bit of tuning

      degrees from usual conventions for number pads

+      - Emacs likes this!!!  :-)
+    - I'm suspicious that I'll want to shift ROT_LED another location over,
+      so some modifier can replace the OS/KC_LGUI key
+  * I have added an alternate ADJUST layer that is activated via update_tri_layer()
+    - e.g. - LOWER+RAISE simultaneously
+    - This seems entirely more useful for handling my "special keys"
+      like the random numbers, user name, and such, than the keypad layer
+  * The _ADJUST layer provides a good place to have RESET
+    - But this isn't strictly enough; I want RESET somewhat accessible from
+      main layer lest an error hide that layer

    interesting idea to express the maps rotated 90%, so that you

+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+  * I use tmux quite a lot; the mollat keymap seems to have some
+    interesting helpers.  It might be interesting to add a "tmux
+    layer," or to have a few keys in a layer oriented towards that
+    - Keys for...
+      - Picking windows 0 thru 8
+      - next/prev/new window
+  * The mollat tmux layer also suggests some thoughts about Emacs
+    helpers.    
+  * I do not presently have anything that handles X11 screen
+    switching, as with Control-Alt-various
+  * I ought to probably look into KC_LEAD, to have some key combos
+    that do not need to be concurrent
+  * The jeebak keymap seems to have some neat ideas:
+    - Number layer which is aggressive about having numbers in several places
+    - TouchCursor layer seems interesting
+      - It sets up a layer with cursor keys on the home keys
+  * The jeremy-dev keymap has some very interesting concepts
+    - Shift hands outwards; the special keys go in the center
+    - Symbol layer has some compound keys for C operators like /=, *=, -=, +=, ...
+    - This is likely what I'll use for my XD75re, and maybe I'll fork a
+      planck keymap for similar
