Which is your preferred thumb key for space and return on the sofle? Default has return on the left and space on the right. I’ve been using it opposite for a bit with space on the left and was liking that but figured I’d try it out in the default config for a bit. Not sure which I like more / which one feels more comfortable. What’s your preference? Do you use space on the left or the right side? Is there a reason for the enter/return key being on the left and space on the right by default?

    I started with space on the right mainly because I used to type like that on a 60% keyboard. Then swapped to make gaming easier and I really wanted to keep a single layout so that I can easily chat during gaming without switching layers.

    Next, I wanted to learn a 3x5 layout for possibly building such a board in future and took some inspiration from more compact layouts. Now I have shift on the right and enter on a layer. Here’s my layout I’ve been using for months now: https://keymapdb.com/keymaps/ranzq/
