I took a deeper dive into mod-tapping and home row mods. Absolutely fascinating and useful, even without an ergo/split keyboard.

I put the 'shift' keys on F/J, and 'AltGr' on G/H (for Umlauts with EurKey). I also put some symbols like '{'or '[' and the arrow keys on a second layer and use 'Caps lock' to switch to that layer on hold.

The only downside to is that I have to relearn my layout a little bit which means my typing speed went down considerably.

@BonfireAtNight you might consider custom #mechanicalkeyboards with #ZMK or #QMK now :)

I've been using CAPsLock for layout switch for ages on my #WASD keyboards; now as I moved to custom mechanical keyboards; #ZSAPlank -> #BlankSlate -> #Corne ; mapped bottom left key(third layer key on first two and shift on corne) to do it on tap as well.
Though as now moving to #homerow, thinking I can utilize that key for something else :)

P.S. check CAPs_Word on ZMK or QMK :)

Adjusting #corne, #sway, #neovim and various #tui applications for my preferences to be more productive and less mouse dependant. Takes some time but fun and benefitial \o/
