This blog post did a nice job of spelling out the different options in kanata, which helped me understand how to define my keybindings in a way that would help prevent me accidentally triggering them when typing rapidly.

I've heard Chris Hartjes talk about home row mods a few times, but thought you needed a special keyboard for them. However, it turns out that there are a number of system programs you can use to enable them, including kanata (which I've installed on my machine). Still getting used to them, but the ability to stay in the home row for common things like navigating between workspaces on linux is definitely amazing!

The linked video walks you through what they are and how to set them up with Kanata, and links you to a github repo with the configuration, as well as the system services you will need to setup to enable them.
