Overall changes
===============
* Updated to work with QMK master.
* The `$` and `^` symbols on the number row were swapped on both the base and
the ADORE layers.
* The bracket tap-dance keys can now be used to input Japanese brackets, `「`
and `」` with a third tap.
* The second column of the top row on the right side will act as a "Social"
application selector on the `AppSel` layer.
* The third key on the same column will select a password manager.
* The `GUI` key will now launch `rofi` when triple-tapped.
Miscellaneous
=============
* The `👶` symbol can be entered with UCIS.
* The `👪` symbol can be entered with UCIS.
Tools
=====
* `tools/hid-commands` can now find the `Mstdn`, not just `Slack`, as the
"Slack"/chat app.
* `tools/hid-commands` can now find the Plex web app as a music/media player.
* `tools/hid-commands` now understands the "Social" application selector. It
raises the `Mstdn` and `Tweetdeck` windows, but keeps focus on the previous
window.
* `tools/hid-commands` now understands the "Social2" application selector, which
raises `Signal` and `Viber`, but keeps focus on the previous window.
* `tools/hid-commands` is now able to select a password manager (KeePass*).
* `tools/hid-commands` can now run `rofi` when receiving an `appsel_helper`
command (triggered by a triple-tapped `GUI` key).

At its core, this is a Dvorak layout, with some minor changes. The more interesting parts are how certain keys behave:
* The number row is the same as in the [ADORE](#adore-layer) layer. The function keys are on the **Media** layer.
* The number row is the same as in the [ADORE](#adore-layer) layer. The function keys are on the **Media** layer.
* The `Shift`, `Alt`, and `Control` modifiers are one-shot. When tapped, they are considered active for the next key press only. When double tapped, they toggle on, until a third, single tap sometime later. When held, they act as expected. My usual pattern is that I use these for the next keypress only, so this behaviour is perfect. If I need them held, I'll just double-tap.

* The `GUI` key is special, because when I double-tap it, it sends `GUI + w`, which pops up an application selector. It also switches to a one-shot layer, where the number row on the left half turns into app selector macros, for the most common things I usually want to switch to. Otherwise it behaves as on a normal layout.
* The `GUI` key is special, because while a single tap works as usual, when double-tapped, it turns the number row into an application selector, and when triple tapped, it runs an application selector program on the host.
* The `ESC` key also doubles as a one-shot cancel key: if tapped while any of the one-shot modifiers are in-flight (as in, single-tapped, and not expired yet), it cancels all one-shot modifiers. It also cancels the **Hun** layer, if active. Otherwise it sends the usual keycode.

* The **Media** and **Hun** layer keys are one-shot, the **STENO** key is a toggle.

* The **Fx** key is one-shot, and activates the **Media** layer, along with a one-shot `Alt`.

This is to be used with [Plover](http://www.openstenoproject.org/plover/), nothing really fancy here. The **STENO** key toggles the layer on and off, and sends the toggle command to Plover too.
