This layout is designed primarily for keyboard navigation. Arrow keys are easily accessible under the right hand (a welcome change from the original Atreus layout, which places them under the left hand), along with Home/End and PgUp/PgDn.
-Modifiers are also placed under the home row of the left hand. One of the single keyboard actions I use most is Shift+Ctrl+Left/Right to select a whole word; this layer makes those keypresses simple by adding the Ctrl and Shift keys in easy-to-reach locations. In fact, I liked this idea so much that I added double modifiers in the row beneath it, so I can now press Ctrl+Shift with a single key instead of pressing both keys individually. Using this layer takes some practice to remember which modifiers are under which fingers, but it makes for much less awkward hand motions when using modifiers on a regular basis.
