// # QWERTY/Neo 2
//
// This is a custom keyboard layout that combines regular German QWERTY (mostly
// letters of the first 2 levels) with the upper levels of Neo 2. It is
// especially useful if you do lots of programming, but don’t want to lose the
// letters peculiar to the German layout (ä, ö, u, etc.). I use this layout
// with vim where it has proven to be quite useful.
//
// ## How this layout was created
//
// - I took the original "neo_base" layout, defined in
// /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de
// - and modified it to include the standard QWERTY layout for the first
// 2 levels.
//
// The QWERTY layout is built up of the following sections:
//
// - "de(basic)", defined in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de.
// It includes "kpdl(comma)" and "level3(ralt_switch)", both of which are not
// necessary as Neo 2 takes care of the respective keys,
// - "latin(type4)", defined in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/latin.
// It includes "latin(basic)".
//
// The end result is mostly identical to Neo 2 except for the letters and a few
// other keys that have different mappings in either "de(basic)",
// "latin(type4)", or "latin(basic)". The changes to Neo 2’s default mappings
// can be found at the end of the layout.
//
// ## Installation
//
// Append the contents of this file to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de. You can
// use `cat qwerty_neo | sudo tee -a /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de >/dev/null`
// to do that.
//
// Add the following tag to /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml (e. g. after the
// tag that configures Neo 2).
//
// ```
//
//
// qwerty_neo
// German (QWERTY/Neo 2)
//
//
// ```
//
// On Ubuntu, you will likely have to reinstall this layout after an upgrade to
// a new version of the OS (e. g. after an update from 17.04 to 17.10).
//
// ## Usage
//
// Use it with `setxkbmap de qwerty_neo` or select the layout in your desktop
// environment.
