- Emphasis on momentary modifiers, all usable from either hand, arranged
symmetrically, but distinguishable left/right by the OS. Shift, Red
("Lower"), Blue ("Raise"), Super ("Windows"), Meta ("Alt"), Hyper.

I'm going for a [Space Cadet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet_keyboard) aesthetic;
I want a keyboard that can (even just in theory) make use of all the bucky bits my operating system can support.
- Red and Blue are used to momentary-enable (like a shift key) one of three layers:

- Blue: Numbers layer
- "Purple" (both Red and Blue): Functions layer
- The base layer is QWERTY. A slight variant of [Workman][] may be toggled-on.
- The base layer is QWERTY.
A slight variant of [Workman][] may be toggled using `Red`+`Blue`+`Z`.
- Emphasis on minimizing hand travel, so as not to lose orientation with
homerow.
- Paired programming symbols (braces, brackets, parentheses) are arranged
symmetrically in the symbols layer.
- Minimize hand travel, so as not to lose orientation with home row.
- `?` and `!` are moved to take the place of `<` and `>`. Rationale: unmodded
and shifted keys should be for prose, while symbols useful for programming
should be colocated on their own layer.
- No OS keymap modification required.
- Key positions chosen for mnemonics.
For example, you can distinguish between alphanumeric numerals and keypad numerals, but they occupy the same key positions.
## Design notes
## Layout Images
- **I use an 8Mhz Pro Micro.** If you want to use this keymap with the standard
16Mhz Pro Micro specified in the Mitosis design:
- Remove the lines in `rules.mk` mentioning `F_CPU` and `F_USB`.
- Remove the lines in `config.h` mentioning `SERIAL_UART_BAUD`.
Base layer. Notes:
- customized comma and period, which have exclamation point and question mark on their shift layer.
- tap right-shift for underscore
- Workman layout
- I'm learning a new physical key placement, so I might as well go all out
and use an optimal non-QWERTY layout.
Red layer. Intended for common navigation and programming symbols. Notes:
- symmetric layout of paired braces/brackets/slashes for easier memorization
- arrows placed directly on home position
- I like the way Workman feels and some of its advantages over Colemak.
Unfortunately, it was designed using a weighting system based on a
standard column-staggered keyboard so is probably not as optimal as one
could achieve on an ergonomic board like the Mitosis. Maybe run an
optimizer routine after I determine good values for key difficulty on the
Mitosis.
Blue layer. Intended for "number pad." Notes:
- Keycodes generated for numbers, enter key, and mathematical symbols are from the alphanumeric keys, not keypad. This way they are not influenced by the state of Num Lock. If you want to send the keypad equivalents, just use Red and Blue modifiers simultaneously.
