> ### 2020-5-27

#### Removed
- BetterTouchTool is no longer needed for Fn key functions and has been removed.
- `SMCLightSensor.kext` has been removed as the x1c6 has no ambient light sensor.

> ### 2020-5-22

- Further SSDT-Keyboard tweaks:
    - Windows (mismapped to Left Alt by default) is now properly mapped to Left GUI
    - Left Alt (mismapped to Left GUI by default) is now properly mapped to Left Alt
    - Right Alt (mismapped to Right GUI by default) is now properly mapped to Right Alt
- This means that Karabiner-Elements is no longer a necessary for this project. Once less program! unless you need it for other purposes (like a hyper key). 
- *Similarly, once Bluetooth toggle is implemented in ThinkpadAssistant, BetterTouchTool can also go away.

    - Disable WiFi with F8
    - Mirror with F7
