## Layout design principles
-No key combination required for the most common input characters ( (),[],{},<> ... )
-No key combination required for the most common actions (copy/paste/undo/save)
-Regroup characters by usage ( + - * = ...)
-Easy access to the most commonly used characters: ; / " . ,
-Preregistered macro for the most common C# langage instructions: public / private / string / int / float ...

## Why is it specific to C#
## Why is it specific to C Sharp
I defined the characters priority based on their usage in C# language, most of this characters are also used in other coding languages but it may require some tweaking.
For example there is no direct access to ~ or $ keys which can be very common in some languages.
Note it is also specific to Windows environement as the shortcut used in action keys would not work on Mac Os

## Improvements
This layout was shared after a bunch of iterations and only once I was happy with it.
Still there are many way to improve or iterate on this:
-Make it language agnostic
-Check and compile language's keyboard's heatmaps to statistically define keys priority (e.g. https://dzone.com/articles/most-pressed-keys-various )
-QWERTY is still not the most efficient typing layout, I would like to create a Dvorak based similar layout in a near futur
-Layout 1 is mainly here for safety, most of its unique keys could be transfered to Layout 2 and it could then be removed

## Issues
One of the issues encountered while creating this layout was that I did not find a way to have a key to send a modifier on hold, and a key combination while pressed (e.g. I can't set a Key to do Save (Ctrl + S) when pressed and Shift modifier when hold )
