Thumb arcs and palm keys inspired by keyboardio models 01 and 100. I'm intending to make the lower, leftmost "palm key" into a rotary encoder to use with the side of the thumb once I can figure out how to change the plate style for just one key (or just edit it in post-production.
I also changed the column offsets so middle finger is in the middle column - by default, it would be in column 3 and you'd have 3 columns all for the pinky, which doesn't make sense to me.
Total hack job, I just replaced default thumb cluster values with my own. And you'll have to either pare down keycaps, use keyboardio keycaps or print your own or some other solution, the thumb arc is definitely too closely packed for normal keycaps. As I mention on the repo, I'm not doing this as a pull request because of the hacky way I did it (replacing default thumb cluster and not bothering to make my own) and possibly the minimal appeal to anyone except me, but feel free to integrate any ideas anywhere obviously!
