From fd1ae511ca3dd2919547bb9a9ca4a903376f7631 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Rickert Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:12:17 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Make diagrams self-contained and lead the README with them The SVGs relied on stylesheet classes supplied by the tool that rendered them - outside it they were black boxes with invisible text. Each now carries its own Full 104-key keyboard split across three pieces An ANSI 104-key layout colour-coded by which of three boards each key lands on: left half 36 keys, right half 39 keys, numpad piece 26 keys, and four keys not on any piece.
