QMK and Keyboards
Gotta give a shoutout to kanata[1] which I have used daily for years at this point after giving up on QMK-powered keyboards.
QMK itself is great, but I was never able to find a non-columnar split ISO keyboard to use it with. Eventually I reluctantly settled on the Logitech K860[2] and I'm now happily using my favourite features from QMK with kanata at the software level.

[2]: If I'm behind the times and there is now a QMK-compatible keyboard that looks like this, please let me know!

Emacs boffins guide to reprogramming keyboard for EXWM?
This is not in Emacs, but if I can't modify my keyboard's firmware (e.g on a laptop), I use Kanata https://github.com/jtroo/kanata. It works by creating a virtual keyboard in Linux (and uses a filter driver or process hooks in Windows), so it can work in any program as they just see a normal keyboard.

HHKB Studio: The New Happy Hacking Keyboard with TrackPoint
Besides the better caps word (by the way, you can have it in software in Win/Linux apps like https://github.com/jtroo/kanata/blob/main/docs/config.adoc#c...) you can also toggle capslock with e.g. a double tap while having on-hold functionality to the more useful Control, so you still wouldn't need to hold any modifier key

Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts
Kanata[0] is amazing. It support both Linux and Windows. But I'm yet to try it on windows because my majority work is on linux.

Key remapping to vim navigation and more
I use keyd (https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) and what I've done is remapped CapsLock down holding to a modifier key that allows me to use vim navigation and more. So when I press CapsLock down I can use jkl; for navigation. I've also added u and i as page up and down. For browser back and forward use n and m. Just pressing CapsLock acts as an esc press.

This is great. Is it possible to somehow use it with keyd, as I don't use autohotkey?

Toward a More Useful Keyboard
On Linux, I use keyd[1] and while I understand that keyd itelf could never run on the Mac, I'd love something that could take my keyd conf and make it work (even approximately) on the Mac.
