The surrounding keys contain similar functionality - for instance, the keys directly below `DOWN` and `UP` are `PAGEDOWN` and `PAGEUP`, respectively. `HOME` and `END` are inverted from this convention, simply because I kept hitting the wrong key when trying to jump to the beginning/end of lines when editing text. To the immediate right of the NAVIGATION layer key are the following modifiers: `SHIFT`, `CONTROL`, `ALT`, `GUI`. All modifiers are the "left" variants. The idea is to use the left hand to hold different modifiers as necessary while using the right hand to navigate and format. -`ESCAPE` is located on the spacebar from this layer, and `DELETE` is placed next to `BACKSPACE`, for convenience when formatting text.

This is functionally the same as a trilayer, though because both keys are activating the same layer it doesn't actually use the trilayer feature. -Primary differences are the inclusion of an autoshift toggle and the removal of the reset button.
