    I used to use an Ann Pro 2 keyboard. By default, h, j, k, l could be used as arrow keys when fn was held down. The fn keys also remapped '[]' to 'home' and 'end', ";'" to pgup, pgdown, and '/' to delete. It also had this feature where the caps lock key acted as a fn key when held down. I very quickly got used to holding the caps lock key with my left pinky to access all the keys I needed with my right hand. I became much more productive on this little 60% keyboard than on any full-sized one as I never had to move my fingers from the home row.

    I've now switched to a qmk compatible Keychron V2 (65%) keyboard and remapped the keys exactly the same way. I'm very tempted to go back to a more compact 60% since I literally never use the arrow keys.

    When I use my laptop on the go, AHK to the rescue. I found a script[0] that does almost the same thing, unfortunately, it fails when I use more than one modifier with the arrow keys. For example: shift + ctrl + left arrow to select one word to the left, which is shift + ctrl + caps lock + h in my case, doesn't work.
