Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts
I'm using AutoHotkey as my own custom IME, allowing me to type special characters, navigate in text and switch between applications without leaving the middle 3 rows of the keyboard: https://github.com/MatejKafka/KeyboardRemap/
The README contains layout diagrams if anyone's interested.

Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts
> I have swapped Caps Lock and Escape on my Linux personal laptop and I have grown used to it.
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.

Using Hotkey If, With EvilC TapHoldManager Library
The thing is, to make up for the small number of keys available, I want to use EvilC's TapHoldManager library to achieve this. I have spent the past few days increasing my knowledge of this library.

tapping, double tap and triple tap
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.

How do I make it so if a press a button quickly, one key is sent, but if I press it for a bit of time, it presses a different key.
Have a look at this, it's quite robust and surely will have what you need https://github.com/evilC/TapHoldManager

Joystick Gremlin and Multiple Keyboards
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.
