+## Improvement Considerations
+
+Trigger the symbol layer directly from the right side of the keyboard (middle thumb cluster key). This will provide access to the space bar but will disrupt other configurations such as the mouse layer which also manages media controls. `cmd + backtick` needs to be accounted for as a gesture that can be achieved with just one hand.
+
+Trigger the number layer directly from the left side of the keyboard (middle thumb cluster key), without needing to traverse via the symbol layer. This would result in both hands being engaged on the keyboard to engage the number layer. Likely can be solved with some smart layering approach.
