*** QMK

Bootloader mode: while you can put the board in bootloader mode by
simply plugging it in while holding ESC down (being ESC the left
button corner key), you will need to click the RESET button to be able
to flash the board with arvdude or QMK Toolbox (there’s an hole in the
middle of the back of the board). EDIT: at least this is in my
experience, but in theory you should be able to flash the board
without using the RESET button, simply putting it in bootloader mode.

*** TODO

- smart shift on a thumb key, to avoid weird situations with home-row-shift
- smart num, to avoid weird taps for the num layer when typing commas and dots
- tapdance or sth similar for ß, €
