I use a Linux distro with kde, so I have a lot of customization available. I like trying other distros in VMs, but stuff like windows (no need to copy really kde is similar by default) and Mac is a pain in the ass to use that way. so, I want to know what your os does that you think I should copy using kde’s customization. I’m looking for Mac in particular (bc I haven’t used it before) but any OS or desktop environment is fair game.

    I don’t really need the compose key, but rebinding caps does sound tempting. But what to bind it to… Hmm

      I bound it to normal shift, because I fat-finger caps instead of shift all the time anyway lol

      On Macs, I remap it to the Command (super) key. On Linux, I remap it to Ctrl.

      It makes copying, pasting, etc. way more ergonomic and doesn’t strain your pinky 😌

      I have it activate a layer when held where all the other keys are remapped.

      I also use a 45% keyboard (https://wilba.tech/jd45) and its done in the keyboard’s firmware (https://qmk.fm/), so I need the extra keys.

      I have an older model of the JD45 with a full bottom row.

        I’ve been meaning to get my hands on a QMK board, but didn’t get around to it yet. Having an extra layer with macros or something sounds super powerful. I wonder whether I’m able to replicate a similar behavior without touching the board’s firmware. But I guess with enough registered keybinds it should work lol
