Shift the right half's top two rows: 6 and F6 lead the right hand

Browse Source 
Resolves the ragged outer edge on both halves at once. Left drops to 34 keys
in six columns each five deep, with no orphans. Right goes to 41: six full
columns, then F12/=/]/Enter, then Bksp and backslash sharing the outer pinky
column instead of backslash sitting alone two columns out.
