Customised Bépo XKB keyboard layout for code, English, and French; with Azerty/Qwerty shortcuts.

For information about installation, see the [bepo-xxerty](https://github.com/Zwyx/bepo-xxerty) project.

## Key points

- **Bépo** layout, slightly customised.
- **Azerty/Qwerty shortcuts**`Ctrl+X/C/V` are still together under the left hand.
- **Number pad** under the right hand, accessible with `Hyper` (`Alt`).
- **Code symbols**`()[]{}<>/\` — under the left hand, accessible with `Hyper`.
- **Arrow keys** — plus `Home` & `End` — under the right hand, accessible with `AltGr`.
- `Shift`, `Ctrl`, `Escape`, `Delete` and `Backspace` brought closer to where the fingers rest.

I have been using this layout every days since I created it in 2019. People seeing me typing note:

- My hands do not move, only my fingers do.
- I do not look at my keyboard.
- I navigate/select in a text with ease, character by character, word by word, line by line.
- I enter lots of unusual characters easily.
