Which thumb key for space and return on the Sofle? - eviltoast

Which is your preferred thumb key for space and return on the sofle? Default has return on the left and space on the right. I’ve been using it opposite for a bit with space on the left and was liking that but figured I’d try it out in the default config for a bit. Not sure which I like more / which one feels more comfortable. What’s your preference? Do you use space on the left or the right side? Is there a reason for the enter/return key being on the left and space on the right by default?

    I have enter on right thumb next to space, and on a combo left hand. I also use the combo as a way to hold enter, since my main enter key is a layer tap

        It’s when you press 2 keys at the same time to get a new output. So I press c+c on qwerty to get enter.

        Here are the QMK docs for combos

            They have some great functionality for sure. Combos, tap dances (which I don’t use much of personally), and the leader key are all super super useful for compressing the footprint of a keymap down

                Similar concept in that it let’s a key do multiple things. In this case, you can assign a key to have multiple outputs based on how many times you tap it, and another output for hold. Docs for it
