**Layered** objects contain an array of Key pointers, one Key pointer for each layer.
Layer Id numbers are used as array indexes in the Key_Layered ptrsKeys array.
When a Layered object is pressed, it gets the active layer from StateLayer, and then presses the key of the active layer. When a Layered object is pressed, it gets the active layer from StateLayer, and then presses the key of the active layer.
