I created this about 7 years ago, after using Neo for a year (a custom keyboard layout optimized for German) and finding that having messed up shortcuts in games and other applications was not worth it for me. Also readjusting to qwertz when typing on somebody else's computer always took a while.
My goal was:
* to create a layout that has the extra layers useful for programming from Neo, but otherwise be standard qwertz as much as possible
* while being usable in combination with any layout (not just German), provided the keyboard has the right set of keys for the modifiers
Might also be cool to automatically create these tickets (when commited to master?). Then you don't forget, and even if they end up not that detailed, you at least get a nice list of all of them.
