You're probably not gonna like some of these modifications... so you can tweak them here:

Under Simple Modifications, change the "To Key" on any of these:

Or hit ○ Remove if you want it to go back to the original key.

I've included two rules under Complex Modification here:

For the first one, when you hold left_thumb3_west, you can use tnsd as arrows.

For the second one, you can use left_thumb2_north and right_pinky_east to automatically capitalize whatever word you're on (or the chord you just typed):

Please note that you'll need to set up Command-K as the command to autocapitalize on your system.

That’s it. Go for it!!
