Shift on home row for alphas

[rcurran1221]

Anyone experiment with tweaking this config for using shift on the home row for alphas?

@infused-kim did experiment with that, reducing the tapping term and disabling hold-trigger-on-release for shift. In addition you could also try reducing the prior-idle term, depending on your typing speed.

Link to their config: https://github.com/infused-kim/zmk-config/blob/8c2cad1185afb594a502872441f11319433dc5e4/config/includes/behaviours_homerow_mods.dtsi#L51-L80

curious, how would hold-trigger-on-release impact false negatives for shifting alphas?

I'm not entirely sure to be honest. What it does is that it delays the positional checks until key release. This allows chaining multiple hold-taps on the same hand, and still enforce positional hold-taps. But I don't see a direct link to avoiding false positives when shifting alphas.

There's an indirect relation insomuch the upstream implementation of HTOR only works with the balanced flavor. If one were to try other flavors, one would need to patch ZMK to continue using HTOR (see discussion in the readme).
