Considerations for 3x5 and 3x6 layouts with additional layers for non-letter characters #29

Hello I really appreciate your thorough work in the documentation and methodology behind engram. I am considering using this layout with a more minimal ortholinear design such as the corne or gergoplex. I was going to try and adapt a layout from feelings and assumptions after trial and error once I create one and test it. However I thought I should reach out and see if you would consider applying your methodology to alternative smaller layouts to maximize the ergonomics of the additional layers as well.

As an additional challenge if you might be willing:
Considerations for modifier keys or key-down/up events. I.E. using xcape (to escape when ctrl is tapped and act as ctrl when held down) these could double up thumb keys ie

Left Thumbs     
 _____________   _______________   _____________
| lower-layer | | mod/backspace | | ctrl/escape |
 -------------   ---------------   -------------

Right Thumbs
 _____________   _________   _____________
| shift/space | | alt/tab | | upper-layer |
 -------------   ---------   -------------
