A general question: What do you consider the top 5 plugins or macros currently available, and why?

For me, OneShot is far & away number one. I guess my two through four would be, in no particular order Macros, MouseKeys, Unicode, DualUse er, SpaceCadet.

OneShot, because it allows me to use modifiers and layer keys without chording, which in turn makes it so much more practical to move them to the thumb arc. For me, this is essential. I can work without the rest, but without OneShot, I’m useless. Leader, because it gives me access to actions trig…

Thanks for these replies. So many macros to try, so little time!

I don’t have a top 5 yet, still setting up but I’m using the Heatmap plugin for the bling bling :slight_smile: and the Macro recorder which is quite fancy cheers

I really like DualUse. I got PageDown mapped to LeftGui when held and PageDown when tapped. That works wonders, since I don’t need a windows button very often. I also use it on my right alt key. When tapped it is AltGr (which works with WinCompose). When held it sends LeftAlt (regular alt modifier)…

Qukeys is my undisputed number one. Macros would have to be number two, and I keep playing with MouseKeys so I suppose that’d be the third. OneShot I’ve used on and off so that would have to be up there too. I’d be reaching for a fifth. Prior to Keyboardio I’d used sticky keys for 5 or 6 years and …

I’m very happy to hear that someone is successfully using home-row qukey modifiers, since that was the original goal. [image] james: I’ve tried to incorporate OneShot (which is essentially an extension to and more configurable version of sticky keys) a few times now but I’ve had difficulty gett…

Thank you, Michael! And like I say, Qukeys is a great plugin! I would absolutely be willing to describe the issue and when I do I’ll try to so on GitHub, but I’ll hang fire on that for now as I’m encountering a bigger issue with my Keyboardio setup that I’m struggling to make sense of, namely that …
