Yes, you are right, it's just one use case, this project here is
really more generic. So I change my assertion: "we keep on working on
this and also I can visualise a base scankey scheme, in order to rise
up a completely new device, not only a keymapping one, based on the
other flat model, the one used world wide nowadays.

Yes, that's the most convenient approach, at least while Alphagrip is
not enough spread off. But, specially because it's a very portable
device, even if it was widely known, it would be cool being able to
have your own customized layout to be used everywhere.

For most of the cases, yes, but... See this problem here:

That is: the color shift keys don't generate any scancode, is it correct?
