Now, the question is: mirror the right hand, or use something like [one-handed Dvorak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard#One-handed_versions), and split & mirror that?\r\n\r\nDoing the former may be easier to learn. Doing the latter, perhaps more efficient in the future. Leaning towards ease of learning.\r\n\r\nAs for the thumb keys:\r\n\r\n* `Backspace`: This'd be `Space` if tapped, `Backspace` if held longer.\r\n* `Shift`: `Enter` if tapped, `Shift` if long-pressed.\r\n* `ESC`: Switch to the other half.\r\n* `Emacs`: `ESC`\r\n\r\nA dim green led shall signal the one-hand layer is active, and either the red or the blue led shall blink, depending on which side we're on."}}
