My favorite layout technique (self.olkb)

My favorite technique is "stacking functionality". So different layers have similar functionality with the same keys. For example: I have arrow keys under "IJKL". With different mod keys, these change to "select text up, down, left right" or "move text up, down, left, right" and even "move screen to workspace up, down, left, right".

Do you have layout techniques to help minimize cognitive load of all your extra functionality?

I've been using my Planck for years now, and have a finely tuned key layout that I use for programming. I initially bought this (second) drop.com rev 7 board as a backup, but I'm really loving the Oblovsky industries ePBT Camo keycaps on the black case!

What board are you using, what are you thinking of getting next?
