I don't expect more changes, I just wished there was a better location for the enter key. Here is the link if you want to check out what I am using: https://configure.zsa.io/moonlander/layouts/J5QlB/latest/0

## Wed, Nov 1: Holding keys

As I was practicing I realized that the space key's location was not ideal. And to reach the `-` key I had to move my thumb all the way under my hand.
I was also reluctant to use the thumb cluster as it was hard to reach when the keyboard is tented.
But after putting the keyboard flat, as suggested in the getting started guide, I found it was quite a natural place to rest my thumbs. So I moved the `backspace` and `space` key there.

And since now is a good time to do such adjustments, I am also experiencing with multi functions key to make the `Alt` key send `Enter` on tap.
Here is my new layout:

It wasn't fun getting used to the new position, and doing such tweaks was exactly what I wanted to avoid.
Hopefully, it didn't took too long to get up to speed, and after a couple of hours of training I reached about 30 WPM for Rust code.
