For example, I mapped backspace to the left spacebar and setup the rotary encoder, but I’ll take any suggestions! Blog post [https://loganmarchione.com/2023/08/keebio-sinc-split-keyboard/] about build process and more pics.

Caps Lock is a dead key in such an important position. I personally remap it to Backspace on tap and layer on hold (though many people do Control for HHKB).

I have arrow keys under my left hand on that layer, so if I need to quickly move in an editor, instead of moving my right hand to arrow keys, it’s just hold a key and tap.

I remap caps to enter so that I can quickly paste and hit enter without taking my hand off my mouse. Maybe it makes more sense to have it as backspace and ctrl-caps could be enter.
