    I'd also suggest "home row modifier keys" (or "home row mods").

    The idea is to have the key behave the same when tapped, but differently if held. (e.g. https://github.com/evilC/TapHoldManager implements this for AHK)

    With home row modifiers, Shift/Ctrl/Win/Alt are put underneath fdsa (and jkl;). -- This reduces the need to use pinky fingers for these keys, & the fingers get to remain on home row more.

    I agree with TheNoobPolice (as usual), and TapHoldManager can be found on evilC's GitHub.

    Like the good u/G1ZM03K said, TapHoldManager is the way to go as is a battle tested method (5+ years and hundreds of users). It also plays nice with AutoHotInterception which is a handler for a keyboard kernel driver.

    Since you mentioned VR, I suppose you could try TapHoldManager which will allow you to double/triple/long press (any # of taps really) your KB buttons. I didn't suggest it earlier since you I assumed you would be putting stickers on your macro KB.
