○ GACS home-row mods
○ Layers for function, number, media, and symbol keys
○ Dedicated (and non-intrusive!) standard layout toggle for reliant tasks
○ Decently commented for beginners and seasoned veterans alike.
FEEL FREE TO FORK!!!

Trying to be minimal in order to reduce constant editing
of layer keys, not to mention how ugly having a 60% layout
is when you have mapped keys in the grid.

Put simply, the below line allows for toggling a no-bind
layer for when you may require a standard layout (such as
playing Street Fighter, Counter Strike, etc.) by pressing
both Meta keys at the same time. You can toggle back to the
base layer by holding both Meta keys at the same time, as to allow
for normal functionality when holding either key down for a shortcut.
