CMD-Preonic

The CMD project seeks to improve productivity by optimizing usage of the left hand via clever use of the function layers.

Note: This project is currently optimized for grid layout, and has not been confirmed to work 100% on MIT layout, although it is expected to work correctly.

Modes

QWERTY

CMD-Qwerty is very similar to the default Preonic with a few key differences:

Dual-role Raise/Enter Key at Caps Lock position. -Don't need to take your hand off the mouse to submit URLs
Space_Function under left space (Grid layout) -Don't need to take your thumb off of the spacebar to use lower.
Dedicated arrow keys replaced with ( - , = , [ , and ] ) - big improvement for programmers who are used to fn layer.

Game

Dual Role Function key becomes Caps Lock.
Space_Function disabled and replaced with normal spacebar.
Windows Key disabled.
