The left-side right thumb button taps for `SPACE` and holds for layer 1 (`NAVI`).

The right-side left thumb button taps for `ENTER` and holds for layer 2 (`SYM`).

The home row uses mod-tap for extra keys:\
Tap `A` for `A`, or hold for `LGUI`.\
Tap `S` for `S`, or hold for `Left Alt`.\
Tap `D` for `D`, or hold for `Left Ctrl`.

Hold `SPACE`, then `ENTER`, to reach layer `ADJ`:\
