kanbara's layout

This layout contains a Colemak and Qwerty mode (for easier pair programming with colleagues) as well as a mode specifically to play League of Legends, as the normal mode does not provide for accessible enough numbers and function keys

Base Layers (Qwerty/Colemak/League)

After lots of tweaking, I've found that putting brackets in the middle is easier for programming, and having a separate numpad input is quite handy.

• Contains split space and enter
• Designed for macOS
• Keeps the Tab/Esc swap which I quite like
• Note the removal of evil caps lock

League

• Has it's own raise just for F-keys and Ctrl+{Q,W,E,R} as a hold toggle
• Just the base keys needed for the game + the adjust and backspace

Lower Layer (Programming symbols + numpad)

I've put a numpad on the right side, and brackets in the middle. I found that putting the shifted equivalents of -, +, \ and ~ are quite convenient to type with one hand

,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
|   `  |      |   _  |   +  |   \  |   {  |   }  |      |   7  |   8  |   9  |  /   |
|------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------|
|   ~  |      |   _  |   =  |   |  |   [  |   ]  |      |   4  |   5  |   6  |  *   |
|------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------|
|      |      |      |      |      |   (  |   )  |      |   1  |   2  |   3  |  -   |
|------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------|
|      |      |      |      |      |      |      |      |  0   |   ,  |  .   |  +   |
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------'

Raise Layer (Function keys + shifted numbers)

Here are the Function keys, as well as shifted 1-9 in order, and some nav and OS keys

,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
|   ~  |   F1 |   F2 |   F3 |   F4 |   F5 |  F6  |  F7  |  F8  |  F9  |  F10 | Home |
|------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------|
| Del  |   !  |   @  |  #   |   $  |  %   |  ^   |  &   |  *   |      |      | PgUp |
|------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------|
|      |      |      |      | Vol- |  BR- |  BR+ | Vol+ |      |      |      | PgDn |
|------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------|
|      |      |      |      |      |      |      |      |      |      |      | End  |
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------'

Adjust Layer

Contains reset, debug and the layer on the right which are set in EEPROM across power transitions

,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
