Support for more layouts in mac2linux

[naphta]

I did have a search and didn't see anyone else having done this, I'm opening up the issue just in-case there are other followers here who are interested in how they'd like to see it approached.

My rough thinking was to put some basic flags in which can select on the most common layouts, perhaps qwerty and dvorak in addition to colemak?

Happy to have a pass at this myself (with my close to non existent C experience, although it looks straightforward enough).

I was tempted to pull it out into a separate project since it'd be unfair to bloat your dotfiles with features you wouldn't use, and it seems like a useful enough setup to be worth sharing more generally.

Generally I think the best approach is to fork the dotfiles and make them your own. Or "steal" from them by taking the bits that you consider useful. Having said that, I don't mind adding features — even ones I don't use — as long as they don't bring too much complexity. Obviously, exactly what constitutes "too much" is a matter of subjective judgment.

As for the specific thing you're talking about here (more layouts), I suspect that mac2linux is "pre-alpha" at this stage, which means it could change a lot in the future. So, not exactly solid ground on which to build... 😂

All of which is to say, it's up to you whether you want to have a try.

@wincent It's exactly that pre-alphaness I'm keen to jump on the bandwagon of. It'd be nice to provide extra layout without making it a pain to rebase in the future.

I'll have a pass at it, the way it's been written so far looks fairly permissive on the layout front anyway.

Anything worth looking at "while I'm in there" from your point of view?

The important part really is the rules moreso than the rest of it.
