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
Haha fair enough
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
I'm using it as a Super key on my 80s AT keyboard
