Hey. This is my keyboard (and the layout): https://imgur.com/gallery/GwQONlT

Thanks. That's a very nice looking keyboard. And I like that it's wireless!

It's probably not something I would use unless I can find a way to make mod-tap more reliable for me (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22112693). But using a tap dance for ESC (or some other key) seems like an idea I could steal to free up a key for other uses.

This also got me to look into quad function tap dance and I realized I could use it to bind altgr to the same key I use for alt and dash with a double tap + hold. This should work since I've never seen any program require a combo that uses alt and altgr at the same time.

It seems like you don't have a mechanism for inputting ^X, how do you deal with that?

My related settings for mod tap are as following, never had any issues with unintended modifiers:

#define TAPPING_FORCE_HOLD #define IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT #define TAPPING_TERM 200

> It seems like you don't have a mechanism for inputting ^X, how do you deal with that? I use macos so there's no need for it. Cut is CMD+X on macos. But to do CMD+D I have 2 CMDs (D and K). Same goes for shifts (A and O)
