QMK includes a caps word function that's handy sometimes when typing constants, have that bound to a key as well as doubletap left shift. I have backtick on ctrl+' since usually I'm using it as a quotation and that's a really uncommon shortcut. Caps lock key is tap for escape, hold for control.

the anne pro 2 firmware has the bottom right key cluster (shift, ctrl, fn1, fn2) set to arrow keys if you tap em - if you hold for a definable interval, it becomes the modifier key. instant muscle memory restored. it’s p neat

Cybernetic Vermin posted:genuine question: why not but a larger keyboard? streamdeck is actually a functional enough display unit, and that - especially the new, knobbed model - is not something you’ll replace with a keyboard. if you don’t go there then the matter is yeah, just how many shortcuts you want to remember, and where you place them

Works great on HHKB layout 40's where the key above shift is tap for Tab, hold for Control. Buck Turgidson posted:Capslock on a layer is great. When I didn't have it I ended up missing it Caps Lock is cruise control for cool. Before combos / tapdance was a thing I was a big proponent of putting capslock on layer 2. Left thumb spacebar hold for layer two, capslock on tab (above shift).
