- ANSI variants assume all symbols in your keyboard layout are in their
QWERTY-ANSI positions: works fine with most US layouts but Dvorak users will get
a slightly different <kbd>Prog</kbd> layer.
- AltGr variants use your layout’s AltGr layer instead of the <kbd>Prog</kbd>
layer: perfect for layouts that already have an optimized AltGr layer, such as
[QWERTY-Lafayette][10] and [Ergo-L][11].
- “Easy” variants don’t use any homerow-mods and leave the left thumb key
modifier unchanged — but they still use a <kbd>Prog</kbd> layer and put the
<kbd>Backspace</kbd> and <kbd>Return</kbd> keys under the thumbs. A good
starting point if you’re new to dual keys.

Note that kanata can also use the laptop’s trackpoint buttons (e.g. ThinkPad)
as two additional thumb keys. :-)
