Erez's experimental layout

This is my personal layout which I use to test out ideas which may or may not make it onto the default layout we ship with. It's based off the default layout, with various tweaks.

Changelog:

May 24, 2016:

• Implements Leader key example
  • Leader, W sends Alt-F4
  • Leader, O sends Ctrl-shift-o (a shortcut I use in FrontApp)

May 8, 2016:

• Makes bottom-right key send minus/underscore when tapped, L1 temporary toggle when held
• Tweaked the positions of the numbers on the symbol layer. Basically, 12345 are now directly under their number-row counterparts in layer 0. You can imagine pulling the number row down to the home row. And 67890 are directly under 12345 - so it's a matter of just adding 5 and going to the next row (1+5 = 6, 2+5 = 7 and so on).
• Tweaks media/nav layer
  • Removes mouse control, as I don't use it
  • Makes left home row keys PgUp, Home, End, PgDn

Apr 29, 2016:

• Tweaks the Hyper and Meh key to send brackets when tapped
• Turns bottom-right key into a minus/underscore (easy to reach with the right pinky)

Apr 25, 2016:

• Made it so that the right and left Shift keys send opening and closing parens ( ) when tapped

Feb 11, 2016:

• Updated ASCII legend for thumb clusters
• Made it so outer left-hand thumb key is L1 momentary toggle
• Added % and @ to L1
• Swapped positions for _ and - on L1

Feb 5, 2016:

• A whole new design for the symbol layer. Specifically:
  • Put the minus, underscore, and semicolon right in the homerow for the right hand
  • Parens are in better places for me
  • The arrow keys now send Ctrl-PgUp and Ctrl-PgDn, for switching browser tabs with the arrows when in symbol layer
  • Tab (right-hand outer thumb key) now does double duty to toggle symbol layer when held down
  • Backspace (left-hand outer thumb key) now just toggles symbol layer (I wasn't using it as a backspace)

Jan 19, 2016:

• Made J into dual-action key (Alt when held down), to make Alt-tab more ergonomic.
• Made ' into dual-action key (Win/Cmd when held down).
