Has anyone used a programmable keyboard with "home row mods" like this? - eviltoast

The author seems to be using the engram layout but i would be interested if anyone’s tried this with qwerty

    No, this is insanity. Mod-tap has an inherent delay. Using it for anything but the most rare operations (like “shutdown”) would drive me crazy. If you can’t reach mod keys, unless you’re arthritic or have otherwise reduced mobility, change your technique instead of doing this.

    The only substitution I do is to replace Caps Lock with Super and Super with Escape, plus standard F key mappings when using a <75% and arrow key mappings on 60%.
