Set Keys programmatically & Import layers from other keyboards (especially neo layer 5&6)

[Phoscur]

I want to import layers from https://github.com/JHoahg/The_NEO_has_landed

There won't be any way to bring this back nicely into Oryx, from contact@zsa.io:

• Allow import & export of layers by JSON serialization through the GraphQL API

I'm afraid we're pretty firmly against this for Oryx for a few reasons. Any form of uploading is really off the table just out of an abundance of caution. We did also consider adding a way to copy layers and keys but ultimately decided against it, as then it would be super easy to copy a bunch of things and end up with an unmanageable layout -- or even to run up against your keyboard's firmware size limit.

Or is there... I'll keep writing back and forth with them a bit more.
And we could still just set them one by one through API or Browser automation...

I've made some progress with graphql-mesh for oryx this weekend: I can now create layers and set keys programmatically.
This will be quite useful to batch create all kinds of neo layers, I'll prepare preset configurations...

Update: the new project now has a CLI to copy layers from other layouts, and it would be nice to merge the projects: Phoscur/oryx-layer-inserter#1

I've been copying JHoahg's and my own layers successfully so far :)
