1. Base Layer: QWERTY, with arrow keys at bottom right.
1. UCIS Layer: US-International symbols layer, plus —. Accessed by toggling the `INTL` layer using the UCIS key (bottom of left thumb cluster).
1. UCIS-Shifted Layer: Making shift work for UCIS characters. An ugly workaround. Any ideas? Accessed through holding shift while the UCIS layer is active (toggles the `INSF` layer).
1. Numpad Layer: Right hand number pad. Accessed by toggling the `NUMP` layer using the NPAD key (bottom of right thumb cluster).
1. UCIS Layer: US-International symbols layer, plus —. Accessed by toggling the `SYMB` layer using the UCIS key (bottom of left thumb cluster).

1. Numpad Layer: Right hand number pad. Accessed by toggling the `NUMP` layer using the NUMP key (bottom of right thumb cluster).
1. Function Layer: F1-F12, arrows on ESDF and HJKL, media player controls. Accessed by holding either FN key (center key of each thumb cluster), which toggles the `ARRW` layer. I know, I need to work on my naming conventions.

I'm terrible at this; I have no background in human-computer interaction, kinesiology, or keyboard-ology. Please send comments/issues/pull requests/angry tweets/etc. If you think there is a better way to take advantage of the ErgoDox/QMK comination without straying far from 84/101-key QWERTY, I want to know it.
### Issues
1. The top two keys of the right thumb cluster are currently unused. I wanted them for screen brightness, but I haven't found a solution I like.
1. The `'`, `"`, `[`, and `]` keys are terrible to access; I want to put them somewhere else but I haven't figured out where.
1. The `INSF` layer is an ugly workaround. I should write a function for doing different things in the `INTL` layer depending on whether SHIFT is being held. Or something. Ideas?
1. The `CSYM` layer is an ugly workaround. I should write a function for doing different things in the `SYMB` layer depending on whether SHIFT is being held. Or something. Ideas?
1. Right now, the thumb cluster function keys double as slash and whack... this really isnt a great solution.
1. `MENU` and `LEAD` are useless, at the moment.
