A Basic QWERTY Layout

The Contra layer was something that I didn't see widely utilized as a US standard so I tweaked the basic layout layout by Jack Humbert. It's closer to the standard layout you would get on a US keyboard. I also moved the rest of the special characters to the lower layer.

This is almost the same as my MechWild Marcuio keyboard.

A Basic Contra Layout

The default layout currently (as of Mar 19, 2018) has a lot of components from Planck's default layout and is not very suitable for a basic Contra board. This basic layout is developed from Planck's default layout but has removed the parts that's irrelevant to a Contra board.

My other keyboard is a HHKB and I don't use Tab or Esc key that much and hence the unusual placements for those keys.
