Custom Colemak

This is based on the official Colemak mapping Customizations (TODO):

• remove ctrl-alt, ctrl-alt-shift mappings
• remap modifier keys

Building

Use Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC)

Remapping modifier keys

Modify kdb.h in MSKLC install folder (ex C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4\inc\kbd.h)

The below patch remaps these keys:

LCTRL -> LWIN
LWIN  -> LALT
LALT  -> LCTRL
