  • 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 Prog layer.
  • AltGr variants use your layout’s AltGr layer instead of the Prog layer: perfect for layouts that already have an optimized AltGr layer, such as QWERTY-Lafayette and Ergo-L.
  • “Easy” variants don’t use any homerow-mods and leave the left thumb key modifier unchanged — but they still use a Prog layer and put the Backspace and Return 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. :-)
