I fear that the debounce might be too high for quicktyping, and that we're already making things slow enough. (The dream isto converge on some keyboard layout then encode it in hardware,trivializing any latency from a QMK-like system).

general plan: use beakl layout for thumb clusters.
IDEA: configuration has two types of keymappings.
one is relative to the location on the keyboard, while another isrelative to the letter. i like mixing both of these. there should besome system for allowing me to easily do the former? TODO: break thisdown into more specific topics!
what do I want my keyboard to do?
- type, well
- preserve some similarity to my laptop keyboard
- make it easy to do the things i can do in i3 on laptop already
- midi layer to play notes and make music !!

rough ideas
greek letters behind a hidden layer for fast math typing
- on this layer remap shift so that it opens capital greek letterreevaluate how i use modifier keys and where i put my thumbs for easeof access
what else do i type frequently? what is the fastest way to lay out thenumpad to enable quick access? what function keys or macros would beuseful to me? emojis?? on my keyboard?? introduce leader keys and macrosto spit out some keyboard shortcuts, music, or important informationexplicitly document this somewhere dont be afraid to draw out specificlayout!! obviously best action to take is planck or split keyboard, butthe next action to take is changing the keyboard layout to radicallychange the way the fingers move as we type! do not place constraint onhow many keys are relocated places on this site layout the q\*\*lw\*layouts for optimizing for various things, one keeps zxcv in place forgreater effeffectiveness. consider using one of these as opposed tocolemak or somethign for better effectivenes in geneeral: find what isntworking and optimiz potential ideas- macros for different latexexpressions(it is possible that org mode already offers this)it may bebetter to just use org mode for latex and shortcut the org modeexpressionsthis should be some 'math mode' laye- midi control layer-offers potential for drum kit as well as for a piano roll of some sort-perhaps dual buttons for tweaking knobs up and down- mappings similar tolaunchpad to programs such as abletonhttps://github.com/theniceboy/nviifi use colemak i will probably have to make some changes to otherkeybindings to reflect thicurrent are proper for qwerty but these ssamebinds will not make sense in other placesfrom planck repos- ajp10304holdtab for shifthold enter for shifthold space for some function layemacros:

- number layer has numbers in several places

jeremy-dev keymap also cool
- shift hands outwards, special keys in center
