Timkbd - Corne keyboard variant

I've used the corne for quite some time, and I noticed that I was missing two essential keys on the main layer. On the left side I can not go without Esc, Tab, Shift, Ctrl. While on the right side, it's Backspace, {, ", Alt. I am pressing Backspace a lot (even with Ctrl+Backspace), it needs to be bigger.

I am not a pcb engineer, and I doubt I can bring it to life, but I want to initialize this project, so I can work on it over time. Also it seems better for me to have those external microcontroller from the V3 version, so I added those to the repository for reference.
