* Must read before you start
Meow is designed to work as a layer on top of the default key
bindings. For example, command ~meow-kill~ can be used to kill a
selection, it works by simulating the keys that is specified by
variable ~meow--kbd-kill-region~, which is ~C-w~ by default. In this way,
it works even when an alternative package is introduce to provide an
enhanced version of ~kill-region~. But if you bind a command with
different behavior on ~C-w~, ~meow-kill~ will not work as expected. In
this case, you have to modify the variable ~meow--kbd-kill-region~ to
match the rules. The same applies to other ~meow-*~ commands.

* Set up command layout
Meow has no default command layout.
You can write your own setup function from scratch or pick one from below as your starting point.
