; NOTES:
; - This map shows a 'comfort' Colemak with VK_102 in the middle (the '_' key). See below.
; - The actual remaps are by scan codes though, so the positions are layout independent!
; - Multiple extending modifiers would've been nice; this setup is a general/basic one.
; - For instance, extended virtual mousing, NumPad/maths, mirror layout, coder's toolbox...
; - If your layout doesn't define the key, 'extend' won't work with it!
;    * Workaround: Put, e.g., 'SC039 = SPACE   VirtualKey' in your layout .ini file.
;    * This will be necessary for Escape/Space/Return/Back and F1-F12 for full functionality.
; - The Tab key is currently a poor candidate for remapping because of problems with AltTab.
;    * It might be useable as another extensor/modifier though?
; - Unfortunately, the WARS (WASD) modifier block only works partially! A bug?
;    * The S=Shift and A=Alt work fairly well, but the R=CtRL is dodgy.
; - Are the "Wheel left/right" keys actual keys or AHK code?

; TIPS:
; - These mappings enable you to do many things without leaving the typing home position.
;    * Mappings are based on ease of reach vs. usefulness, and some left-hand-only use.
; - This could take some getting used to for the left pinky, but then it gets really cool!!!
; - The Caps key plus Esc turns the CapsLock state on and off now.
; - It's handy to control your browser back/forward with the left hand only while browsing.
; - Similarly, the wheel up/down keys are favorites.
; - Caps+Space for Enter is also nice; can be worked with left-hand-only as well.
;    * To press dialogue buttons for instance, use Tab to move and Space/Q to select/abort.
;    * A+Space (=Alt+Enter) when a file/disk is selected, brings up the object's Properties.
; - Use the \ (or *Btn2) for context menus; arrows, 'mousing' or shortcuts select items.
; - An Esc mapped to '[' (Telnet/Vim/etc compliant) is nice, but a left-hand one even better.
; - The left-hand Del key is also convenient; the right-hand one is best when editing.
; - Cut/Copy/Paste are Windows 'keypress' versions - should work mostly anywhere.
;    * I wished to have an Undo key on 'z', but that doesn't exist!?!
; - In theory, using WARS with the UNEI/LY/O' keys you can jump words, jump/select, etc.
;    * Not all these are currently working though, so you may have to use 'real' modifiers.
; - The number keys are mapped to function keys. They are reachable with the left hand!
;    * A4 closes apps; W3 GUI-searches; 1(Help)/2(Rename)/3(Find)/5(Refresh) are useful too.
; - The function keys are mapped to multimedia keys like the ones on multimedia keyboards.
;    * Browser_Stop/Refresh/Search are usually covered by hotkeys (e.g., Esc/F5/^F).
;    * Browser_Favorites usually needs a menu choice, so that's an inclusion candidate.
; - The App1/2 keys are defined in the registry, in a ShellExecute (REG_SZ) value under (?):
;    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\17
;    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\18
; - Wheel Up/Dn are nice for scrolling window bars; Wheel Left/Right for horizontal scroll.
; - The 'virtual mousing' is rudimentary; a 'last resort' when arrows/Tab aren't enough.
;    * A mousing resolution of 17 pixels roughly fits *most* context and similiar menus.
;    * A full mouse layout would have multi-resolution, diagonals, sticky Btn1 and Btn4/Btn5.
;    * The keyboard's auto-repeat makes virtual mousing odd/'laggy' when a key is held down.
;    * In particular, beware of holding down the *Btn key(s) for a 'rapid-click' effect.
