The kastyle keymap was originally intended to remap the ErgoDox EZ to more closely approximate the layout of a Kinesis Advantage. Notable changes over the stock ErgoDox layout include:

Re-arragnement of tab, enter, space, and delete to match the Kinesis
Addition of print screen, pause, etc. keys following the kines-ish keymap on L1
GUI keys have replaced Ctrl on the thumb keys (for Mac use), and Alt keys are mapped to allow Esc on tap (good for Vi users)
Most notably, the addition of a momentary one-handed mode for quick and easy access to keys on the other half of the keyboard, e.g. while using a mouse in one hand, one may add text to a dialogue box with the other without having to reach across the keyboard or remove one's hand from the mouse.
