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.

Laptop Users, how do you feel when switching to standard QWERTY?
Are you running Windows? If so here's the relevant bits of my script. Also worth a look - https://github.com/evilC/TapHoldManager

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.

Shortcut for rotating canvas by 15° left or right without a mouse
I don't like using my mouse while drawing and I couldn't find how to do this anywhere, but luckily when I was about to give up I achieved it! So, for this you'll need a program called SharpKeys. You can download it here: https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys/

Caps Lock Behaviour Disabled in Gnome
Sharpkeys can swap keys, the readme says as much:
> Things that SharpKeys will do:
> ...
> Allow you to swap two keys with each other - e.g. you can swap Left Windows with Left Control and vice versa
I do have a vague recollection of Sharpkeys previously saying that it couldn’t, but that I tried and it worked. Long time since I last used Windows though.

Total Commander
> Total commander isn’t FOSS.
I'm aware of that. There are lots of FOSS equivalents, though. Including, I believe, on Windows. Wikipedia lists 23 of which I think -- haven't checked -- the majority are FOSS.

> Ironically windows 11 can’t do vertical taskbars.
True. Easily fixed with Explorer Patcher, though. Which, ironically, is FOSS.
> And where in windows can you change the system shortcuts?
I don't use it much any more and stopped early this century, so my knowledge here may be out of date.
When I do, I use SharpKeys to put a GUI on editing the relevant registry keys for keyboard remapping.
https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys
In the NT 3.x era, it was the properties of every EXE's PIF file. So I set Crtl+Alt+(initial) to open my most used apps. Ctrl+Alt+D for DOS, E for Excel, W for Word, etc.
This still works with limitations under Win9x through to XP, which is when I jumped off the Windows ship.
But mostly it's about learning the many many built-ins.

Menu Key in Adobe Premiere (Windows)
This application can be used to do that. You'll notice it can't see the menu key either if you try to autodetect it, so you need to set it manually. It's listed as:
