   5 The Deft Planck layout is designed for efficiency in programming and transferability between ortholinear boards. It features a fairly standard default layer with properly placed arrow keys, a lower layer with a usable numpad and symbols, and a raise layer for numbers, f-keys, and music controls. The code is also cut down to only what you need. The result is a very usable Planck that can easily replace fullsize layouts.

   7 The strangely placed Enter key is meant to be closer to your thumb and moving it allows for proper arrow key placement without disturbing our layout too much. I wanted to separate the enter key from the forward slash key anyway, as I was commonly pressing enter when I meant to type a question mark. You get used to it pretty fast.
