// * The QWERTY layout was designed in the 19th century. Colemak is a modern alternative to the QWERTY and Dvorak layouts.
// * It is designed for efficient and ergonomic touch typing in English. Learning Colemak is a one-time investment that
// * will allow you to enjoy faster and pain-free typing for the rest of your life. Colemak is now the 3rd most popular
// * keyboard layout for touch typing in English, after QWERTY and Dvorak.
// *
// *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// * INSTALLATION:
// * 1 ) Switch to QWERTY mode: progm+F3
// * 2 ) Create new layout file c_qwerty.txt: progm+F2 c
// * 3a) Switch to MAC mode: progm+F5
// * 3b) Switch to WIN mode: progm+F6
// * 4 ) Mount the 'KINESIS KB' Drive: progm+F1
// * 5 ) Copy c_qwerty.txt to the active folder. This will overwrite the file that is already there.
// *
// * NOTE: Step 3a / 3b work around a firmware bug in the keyboard. The workaround is simply that you need to switch
// * between thumb key modes. If you have a Mac, then perform step 3b before 3a.
// *
// *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// *
// * NOTE: Many users do not map caps lock to backspace because the backspace key is already in a great position
// * on the Kinesis Advantage 2 keyboard. In particular, many Vim users remap caps lock to ESC and leave
// * backspace in it's default location.
