[Keymap] Neo2 for ErgoDox on MacOS US QWERTY / ABC Extended keymap (#5862) This is a Neo2 inspired layout that is meant to be fully usable on MacOS when used with the default US QWERTY/ABC Extended keymap. Neo2 layers 1-4 have been almost fully implemented in hardware. Layers 5 and 6 (greek and mathematical symbols) have been left out for now as most of them aren't available on the default keymaps. Layer toggling for layer 3 on the right hand side utilizes a tap-toggle approach that is a combination of MO & LT macros. This is required to allow sending Y when tapped, @ when tapped while the SHIFT modifier is active and support momentarily toggling the layer while the key is held.

# Neo 2 for ErgoDox on QWERTY
# Description
The Neo layout is an optimized German keyboard layout developed by the
Neo Users Group, supporting many Latin-based alphabets. The positions
of the letters are not only optimized for German letter frequency,
but also for typical groups of two or three letters. English is
considered a primary target as well.
The design tries to enforce the alternating usage of both hands to
increase typing speed and incorporates ideas from de-ergo and other
ergonomic layouts. High frequency keys are placed in the home row.
The current layout Neo 2.0 has unique features making it suited for
many target groups such as programmers, mathematicians, scientists or
LaTeX authors.
Neo is grouped into six layers, each dedicated to a special purpose.
# Layers
At the core this is a Neo 2.0 layout adjusted for the Ergodox Infinity.
The keymap is laid out expecting a macOs using the US QWERTY or ABC
Extended layout.
[Layer 1](#layer-1) Lowercase, upppercase and typographical characters
[Layer 2](#layer-2) Special characters for programming
[Layer 3](#layer-3) WASD-like movement keys and number block
[Layer 4](#layer-4) Greek characters
[Layer 5](#layer-5) Mathematical symbols and Greek uppercase characters
[Layer 6](#layer-6) Ergodox Infinity US QWERTY layout
[Layer 7](#layer-7) Function keys
## Legend
* Keys marked with `----` are dead keys.
* Blank keys are transparent and fall through to lower levels.
## Layer 1
This layer implements NEO layers 1 and 2.
