 - home-row mods on base layer, sticky mods on `Nav` and `Num` layers
 - most symbols can be accessed from the base layer via combos
 - sticky shift on right thumb, double-tap activates caps-word
 - backspace morphs into delete when shifted
 - unicode layer with Greek letters for mathematical typesetting (not yet ported to ZMK)

 The combo layout is guided by two goals: (1) put all combos in easy-to-access locations,
 and (2) make them easy to remember. Specifically:

+    location" macros which map key-positions in the layout to physical locations on the
+    shield. These macros follow a common naming convention, starting with `LT0` for the
+    first key on the **L**eft **T**op-row and ranging to `RB4` for the last key on the
+    **R**ight **B**ottom-row. They need to be defined in the shield-specific keymap-file
