Spacebar+ emulate arrow keys (you don’t have to leave home row).Spacebar and press or hold b (for blank), a single space (if b is tapped) or spaces (if b is held) are typed.Thus, SpaceFN was born, and based on earlier work by Edgar Matias (the Matias keyboard person). Since keyboards have giant space bars under our powerful thumbs, it makes sense to use them as a modifier key. This in an effort to combat Emacs Pinky, an over-use injury from using the control and other modifier keys. I’ve been reading about/trying out Spacemacs which uses the space bar for the leader key for many commands. If I instead tap CapsLock, it sends F18, which I use to open Alfred. Here, if I hold down CapsLock it emulates a Hyper key, which is Ctrl+Command+Option+Shift.
This seems to have originated with the Space-cadet keyboard, and is another modifier like Shift or Ctrl. I’m using Karabiner Elements to redefine some keys. (I never could learn QWERTY and four-finger pecked for years before learning Dvorak.) On the home row, vowels are under the left hand, consonants under the right so that when you type, you more often alternate hands. It is designed so that the home row keys are the most frequently used, and more frequently used keys are pressed by stronger fingers. Replaces Apple Magic Mouse 2, Logi MX Master 2. browser navigation - don’t use these much. Button allows changing between precision and speed, so cursor moves farther when navigating the screen. Uses the Logi unified receiver, rather than Bluetooth, which can be flakey. Replaces Apple Magic w/ Numeric Keypad, Keyboardio Model 01 Mouse Sculpted keycaps, full-travel keys, some audible feedback, but not clicky or clacky, navigation keys, split, tenting capable, programmable.
