Hah, are you me?

I have similar keys to yours, but U and O are left/right four times, and 8 and , are up/down four times. Could make it more, I just know that 3 is to small.

I also use ahk as my window manager, which is essential for working on a 4k 100% scale screen: https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/79338-simple-window-p...

I also also have a hotkey for nearly every program I use on a daily basis. Win 0-9 are used of course, but Caps+F1-F12 are also used, and I've recently added Insert+letter keys to my collection thanks to my new fancy QMK keyboard. My goal is to never alt tab again :)

I also also also have an emacs/whichkey kinda thing, which does exactly what you think:

    CapsLock & E::WhichKeyMenu()
    WhichKeyMenu() {
      CoordMode, Menu, Screen
      Menu, WhichKeyMenu, Add, &C Code, Code
      Menu, WhichKeyMenu, Add, &D Desktop, Desktop
      Menu, WhichKeyMenu, Show, % A_ScreenWidth/2, % A_ScreenHeight/2
      return
    
      Code:
        run, explorer.exe C:\code
      return
    
      Desktop:
        run, explorer.exe C:\Users\dharm\Desktop
      return
    
    }
This is, of course, extensible to any AHK command, not just running explorer. Also means I don't have to memorize every goddamn shortcut. Only weird thing is that I have to exit out of it with Alt. Escape doesn't work and I dunno why.
