+The kastyle keymap was originally intended to remap the ErgoDox EZ to more
+closely approximate the layout of a Kinesis Advantage. Notable changes
+over the stock ErgoDox layout include:
+
+ * Re-arragnement of tab, enter, space, and delete to match the Kinesis
+ * Addition of print screen, pause, etc. keys following the kines-ish keymap
+ on L1
+ * GUI keys have replaced Ctrl on the thumb keys (for Mac use), and Alt keys
+ are mapped to allow Esc on tap (good for Vi users)
+ * Most notably, the addition of a momentary one-handed mode for quick and
+ easy access to keys on the other half of the keyboard, e.g. while using a
+ mouse in one hand, one may add text to a dialogue box with the other without
+ having to reach across the keyboard or remove one's hand from the mouse.
