- Make thumb-accessible ⌥ and ⌃ into right-⌥ and right-⌃

- remove media-space and media-shift-space; put a play/pause key at media-m instead
- add print screen, scroll lock, and pause/break to the media layer

And in the readme:

- don't say we don't have any Windows-specific keys
- add mnemonics for thumb-alt and thumb-ctrl positioning

This layout doesnt make any concessions for Windows use. While it should work fine in Windows, Im not about to devote precious keyboard space to Windows-specific shortcuts. While this layout should work fine in Windows, its not tuned for it. No sane person who primarily uses Windows would put this many Windows keys on a keyboard layout.

⇧⌥⌘⌫, when you press the backspace on the right half of the keyboard, is much more satisfying than if you curl your left hand into a claw to press all the keys on the left. Try both; youll agree.

I press C-a, C-e, and C-k all the time. Its difficult to press these key combinations with the control key on the bottom left and Im too quick on the draw for the control function on the / key to work reliably, so the bottommost thumb button on the right side is another control key.

Having trouble remembering which thumb key is alt and which is ctrl? Its like on the lower right of a normal keyboard — leftmost is alt, rightmost is ctrl.
