+# jyh's levinson layout
+
+[Levinson](https://keeb.io/products/levinson-lets-split-w-led-backlight)
+built on rev2 PCBs. A split 4x12 keyboard with LED backlights.
+
+The layout is oriented towards needs for programming, Emacs, XMonad,
+and experience with 60% keyboards with no base layer arrow keys
+(Poker). It makes heavy use of modifiers and layers.
+
+## Layout features
+
+ * Extensive use of _Mod Tap_, e.g.
+ * Tap sends Esc, Hold sends Left Control
+ * Tap sends Enter, Hold sends Right Shift
+ * ... and many more
+ * Hyper and Meh keys
+ * Right modifier keys in place of arrow keys
+ * Arrows are instead available in two alternate locations:
+ * WASD arrows on _Adjust_
+ * Arrow cluster on _Raise_ (inspired by hexwire)
+ * Centered symbol/bracket cluster on _Lower/Raise_
+ * Inspired by hexwire layout
+ * Programming-oriented
+ * Spacebar sends modifier keys on hold (_this is finicky in practice. may shut off completely_)
+ * Control ~~and Alt/Meta~~ on left ~~and right~~ space, respectively
+ * Strict space available on _Function_ and _Numpad_ layers
+ * For Emacs keychords
+ * Extra dedicated layers
+ * Numpad (available with tap toggle)
+ * Function key (F01-24)
+ * Redunant keys where it is convenient to have characters together
+ on one layer
