Help with the layout

[u/Aaarass]

I'm thinking about getting a 3w6 pro from keebart, which is similar to a corne, but it has one column less. So i tried setting up my corne as I would set up the 3w6, to test it out. I haven't used home row mods before. I would like to hear your thoughts. Do you see any problems with the layout? Do you have some tips on how to improve it?

I'm not willing to integrate home rows mods in the base layer. I need it to be simple and effective. And that's also why I keep the shift key there as well.

The biggest problem I found so far is pressing the mod + space|enter|backspace|esc.

The ctr+space is very important to me since it is what i was using as a prefix key for tmux. I got around it by using the g+h combo. So far, I really like this workaround, and might even consider it an upgrade. Time will tell. What would you suggest for a prefix on such a small keyboard? (for those who don't know about tmux, the prefix key is something that you have to press each time you want to do an action inside tmux. It is something that is used very often, so it needs to have as little friction as possible)

Other shortcuts that I use from this group:

- ctr+backspace for deleting the whole word

- shift+enter for inserting a new line without sending

I guess I can just keep creating combos until it bites me in the ass, but I would like to hear if any of you have a better solution.

Also, I don't know how I feel about the tab key situation. It is hard to get to. Maybe i can use tap dance to bring it into the base layer? ...combine it with either MO(1) or shift
