Sun keyboards had Ctrl where Caps typically lies, and it was so convenient that I have remapped this in every environment I use for decades now.

This presents a small annoyance when I need to use another computer and start TYPING IN CAPS when I don’t intend to

This home row mod idea makes a lot of sense to me but I don’t think I would want to train my muscle memory to use such a drastic difference in behavior lest I find myself embarrassingly useless when presenting on a random work computer that doesn’t support this

The kbd community has all kinds of small form factor / isometric layouts like this that are totally custom and efficient but just make me think how you just train your hands to be shockingly unproductive on 99.99% of other systems
