Yeah I’m really looking forward to playing with this. Going to map caps lock to escape for vim. But the sky is the limit: with all the layer stuff.


> the sky is the limit: with all the layer stuff.

Some techniques I've liked / made use of (although I support may vary depending on the tool you use):

- Using tap-hold to put Shift/Ctrl/Gui/Alt on home row underneath fdsa (and on the right-hand side, too).

- "Caps Word", where CapsLock functionality is enabled until a non-[A-Za-z0-9_] letter is input.

- Having a 'combo'/'chord' where pressing 'cv' or 'm,' would take me to the previous/next virtual desktop.


I was using caps-lock for control for a while. But dual mode, where caps lock is escape if pressed alone, control if pressed in combination with anything is soooo good. Huge upgrade, highly recommend. An interesting base example of stateful key presses


Yeah I am doing the same: I took the sample global configuration from the readme. It’s been a trip trying to retrain my finger memory.


You might enjoy putting Ctrl on your space key then. Even bigger upgrade. :)
