Hmm, autoshift… keep on talking, sir! Haven’t tried that/didn’t knew it was a thing. So holding down on 2 for x amount of time would input @? Doesn’t that effectively slow you down? Also, how would you laugh in Brazilian Portuguese, if holding down on a key produces another key? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Yeah, exactly. It does slow you down just a smidge, but it removes the need to do finger gymnastics to hold shift + layer + tap (in this example) 2. Instead, it’s just layer + 2 (hold for like 0.1s). You can also configure it to not apply to alpha characters, which is what I have, so it won’t do anything unless it’s a symbol or a number.
If you want to hold a character (2), then you tap, release, then hold within a configurable time frame.
I also think you mentioned it, but combos are also really nice, as is the leader key.
Leader key you press it and then you input a series of keys (or just one) and it acts as a new key. I have a lot of macros stored under leader key activations, like wrapping a word in (), or writing “->” or " !=" . There’s a deep rabbit hole of customizing you can fall into here :P
