Tutorial 3b - autoShift
=======================
Some multi-layer keyboards have a symbols layer that writes symbols without using the shift key:
~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * () _ {} | < > : ?
The keybrd library does this by automatically sending a MODIFIERKEY_SHIFT scancode.
Two keybrd classes use AutoShift:
* Code_ScS
* Code_ScNS
The [keybrd_3_autoShift.ino](keybrd_3_autoShift/keybrd_3_autoShift.ino) sketch explains the AutoShift feature.
It will run on the basic breadboard keyboard described in [tutorial_1_breadboard_keyboard.md](tutorial_1_breadboard_keyboard.md).
After reading the sketch you too will be able to automatically shifted characters.

---------
1) Modify the keybrd_3_autoShift_annotated sketch to make a 3-layer keyboard with a default layer and two Code_LayerHold objects.
