Class 1 orphans (merlin2)

This defines a firmware layout optimised for class 1 OS keymaps, which have square and curly brackets on the number row.

Class 1 keymaps often have accented letters on R(P) and R(;) that must remain in the same relative locations for touch typists.

In clockwise order from the bottom left, the orphan keys are mapped according to each of the class 1 keymaps:

Keymap L(Z) L(A) L(Q) R(5) L(6) R(P) R(;) R(/)
fr_FR <> ² )°] =+} ù% $£¤
fr_FR@bepo èÈ çÇ $# %` zZ mM wW
de_DE <> #' ß?\ ´` üÜ äÄ +*~
en_US@dvorak <> \| `~ [{ ]} /? -_ =+
it_IT@alt <> ù§ \| '? ì^ èé à°` +*~
se_SE <>| '* §½ +?\ ´` åÅ äÄ ¨^~

This is also usable with some class 2 OS keymaps, which have square and curly brackets on the first letter row, e.g.:

Keymap L(Z) L(A) L(Q) R(5) L(6) R(P) R(;) R(/)
en_US <> \| `~ -_ =+ [{ '" ]}
it_IT <> ù§ \| '? ì^ èé[{ à°# +*]}

Orphan key locations

The orphan keys are found in these physical locations on the Model01:

LH column 0 ... LH column 6 RH column 7 ... RH column 15
PROG ... RIGHT_OF_5 LEFT_OF_6 ... NUM
LEFT_OF_Q ... ... ... ... RIGHT_OF_P
LEFT_OF_A ... ... ... ... RIGHT_OF_SEMICOLON
LEFT_OF_Z ... ... ... ... RIGHT_OF_SLASH

RIGHT_OF_5 and LEFT_OF_6 are labelled LED and ANY on the default keycap set.

Note that these labels refer to the relative positions of the keys in a US-QWERTY layout, but otherwise have no significance. These key labels always refer to the same physical keys on the Model01, no matter which language keymap is in use.
