The mouse layer are unprinted, indeed. Only the base layer and the mod layer are printed.

The Mouse buttons have been placed, so that the user doesn't have to leave the home row. Regardless, your logic does make sense to me. Luckily, it's very easy to reconfigure the layout, just as you noted.

Why the dead key between the mouse key and the click keys? It would seem to me that if one is using the mouse layer, it is likely to be used for a decent while, and it would make more sense to shift the hand one key left to avoid stretching the pinky. There's nothing else to reach for in the left hand on the default mouse layer, so I can't see any benefit to the stretch. If you are in typing mode, chances are very high that the mouse is not sitting where you want it - and may even be hidden by your editor to avoid distracting you.

I know I can remap it, so it isn't a big deal, but having the labels in the right location would be nice if you haven't printed them yet. Hmmm... are the mouse functions unprinted, and thus it doesn't matter?
