kanbara's layout
This layout contains a Colemak and Qwerty mode (for easier pair programming with colleagues) as well as a mode specifically to play League of Legends, as the normal mode does not provide for accessible enough numbers and function keys
Base Layers (Qwerty/Colemak/League)
After lots of tweaking, I've found that putting brackets in the middle is easier for programming, and having a separate numpad input is quite handy.
- Contains split
spaceandenter - Designed for macOS
- Keeps the
Tab/Escswap which I quite like - Note the removal of evil caps lock

League
- Has it's own raise just for F-keys and Ctrl+{Q,W,E,R} as a hold toggle
- Just the base keys needed for the game + the adjust and backspace

Lower Layer (Programming symbols + numpad)
I've put a numpad on the right side, and brackets in the middle. I found that putting
the shifted equivalents of -, +, \ and ~ are quite convenient to type with one hand
,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| ` | | _ | + | \ | { | } | | 7 | 8 | 9 | / |
|------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------|
| ~ | | _ | = | | | [ | ] | | 4 | 5 | 6 | * |
|------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------|
| | | | | | ( | ) | | 1 | 2 | 3 | - |
|------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------|
| | | | | | | | | 0 | , | . | + |

Raise Layer (Function keys + shifted numbers)
Here are the Function keys, as well as shifted 1-9 in order, and some nav and OS keys
,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| ~ | F1 | F2 | F3 | F4 | F5 | F6 | F7 | F8 | F9 | F10 | Home |

Contains reset, debug and the layer on the right which are set in EEPROM across power transitions
