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’m also a backspace on opposite thumb user. Feels better/makes more sense than enter for me
Yeah, that does make sense. So where’s enter for you?
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
What do you mean by a combo?
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
Oh, interesting! QMK enables some pretty impressive stuff!
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
Now that I understand combos, what are tap dances?
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
