jyh's levinson layout

Levinson built on rev2 PCBs. A split 4x12 keyboard with LED backlights.

The layout is oriented towards needs for programming, Emacs, XMonad, and experience with 60% keyboards with no base layer arrow keys (Poker). It makes heavy use of modifiers and layers.

Layout features

Extensive use of Mod Tap, e.g.
- Tap sends Esc, Hold sends Left Control
- Tap sends Enter, Hold sends Right Shift
- ... and many more
Hyper and Meh keys
Right modifier keys in place of arrow keys
- Arrows are instead available in two alternate locations:
- WASD arrows on Adjust
- Arrow cluster on Raise (inspired by hexwire)
Centered symbol/bracket cluster on Lower/Raise
- Inspired by hexwire layout
- Programming-oriented
Spacebar sends modifier keys on hold (this is finicky in practice. may shut off completely)
- Control ~~and Alt/Meta~~ on left ~~and right~~ space, respectively
- Strict space available on Function and Numpad layers
- For Emacs keychords
Extra dedicated layers
- Numpad (available with tap toggle)
- Function key (F01-24)
Redunant keys where it is convenient to have characters together on one layer
