CMD-Preonic
===================
The CMD project seeks to improve productivity by optimizing usage of the left hand via clever use of the function layers.
>Note: This project is currently optimized for grid layout, and has not been confirmed to work 100% on MIT layout, although it is expected to work correctly.
----------
Modes
-------------
#### QWERTY
>CMD-Qwerty is very similar to the default Preonic with a few key differences:
- Dual-role Raise/Enter Key at Caps Lock position. -Don't need to take your hand off the mouse to submit URLs
- Space_Function under left space (Grid layout) -Don't need to take your thumb off of the spacebar to use lower.
- Dedicated arrow keys replaced with ( - , = , [ , and ] ) - big improvement for programmers who are used to fn layer.
