Are you using 36 or 42 key? I’m looking to get one soon and was initially leaning to 36 but I’ve heard reports that 42 is the better way to go because the shift buttons can be frustrating as a home row mod on 36 key?
- lawn 3y agoIn my humble opinion, having a one-shot shift on your secondary thumb is something everyone should try. I personally use auto-shift (long press for shift) on my 34 key layout, but I think most would prefer the one-shot shift.
- rgoulter 3y agoOne-shot shift = after tapping, the next key you press is shifted? That does seem useful. I also liked QMK's "caps word" feature. It's like CapsLock, but only for UNDERSCORED_WORDS. (i.e. the keyboard returns to non-CapsLock after typing a non-word letter, like space/esc/tab/etc.).
- rcarr 3y agoInteresting! I wondered why I’d see layouts with just one shift key on the right thumb cluster, it all makes sense now.
- lawn 3y agoExactly. I also use capsword to capitalize more than a single character (autoshift gets old very quickly otherwise). I also have one-shot combos for ctrl on the home-row, so to do Ctrl-N for instance I can just tap ring + middle finger on the home-row followed by N. Super convenient. (You can hold one-shot modifiers to act like a regular one too.)
- breckenedge 3y agoDo you have a link to your layout?

- breckenedge 3y agoI have a 42 key. When I switched to Miryoku, I just removed the extra keys.
