oh hi, I plan on drawing a keyboard plate from scratch using CAD software. I noticed the switch size holes are specified, but what should stabilizer holes be? Currently, I'm interested in holes for the plate-mounted version of cherry stabs, but documenting all stabilizers would be nice to see. I have the ability to read technical drawings.

I'm interested in making a sandwich case for a keyboard with a single key. Although it seems it can handle a 2-key board fine, it doesn't work for a 1-key board.

The one key input:

[""]

with the following configuration:

results in the following weirdness:
.

But when there are even just two keys, i.e. ["",""], with the same configuration, it results in the perfectly well-formed:

I'm sympathetic to whoever programmed this--this is one of the few situations where somebody (me) actually wants an edge case!

I'm a beginner with question when choosing between switch cutout styles. From the docs:

The most popular MX specific cutout which allows for switch opening without desoldering from the PCB. It is the most stable openable MX cutout, but you will pay a little more to get a plate cut with this cutout than the previous cutout.

Why would someone want to be able to open the switch?

It might be useful for beginners like me if a sentence were added to this description that mentions why someone might want to open a switch, so that it's easier to make the decision about which switch cutout style to use. I'm trying to predict whether I'll ever want to open the switch in the future, or if this is something most people will never need to do.

Thank you so much for your work on swillkb --- it's amazing. I really appreciate it.
