Custom Mac OS X Keyboard layout

Optimized for ergonomics & efficient coding

You can switch to the symbol layer by holding the Alt key (option key). It is based on the AdNW KOY variation which performs much better than the QWERTY/Z and even the DVORAK layout (see: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/AdNW_und_KOY/) In addition, the symbol layer has been restructured (thanks to entdev).
