- Leverages Optimot and its driver
- The Optimot layout is highly optimised for French and English secondarily
- Its driver provides with many ideally placed characters

doesn't stop with some punctuation characters (ZMK limitation)Shift+Alt+Tab
is not possible (Shift+Alt
, in general)

- The gaming layer is entirely optional
Alt
andGUI
may be swapped depending on one's use- The left hand mouse-support layer does not feature browser navigation, but any mouse with five buttons or more will have it
