Hi, I recently got a Planck myself and am interested to see what cool QMK gimmicks other Planck users come up with. What are some software customizations you like the most?

I have some interesting encoder bindings (though they're being difficult with rev7...) that allow me to scrub my undo/redo history and mouse wheel up/down. I also have a keybinding to send ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ which is the superior emote IMO lol.
I also enjoy CAPS_WORD_ENABLE to let me double-tap left shift to enable caps lock for a word.
I can send you my keymap if you're interested, just send me a DM!
I don't have an encoder on my Planck unfortunately (got the EZ because I'm not much of a hardware hacker). How does caps word on double shift feel? I thought it'd feel clunky having to tap so much with your pinky, so I was afraid I'd never use it if it wasn't easy to turn on and off. Currently, my shift key is shift on hold and CW on single tap, but it does have some false activations which are annoying.
Caps on double shift isn't too bad in my opinion. One thing I also did was enable they dynamic tapping term feature as well so I could dial in how fast or slow the double tap needs to be. I don't need caps lock too often, but I prefer it to holding shift for every letter when I do need to capitalize an entire word.
This is super clean. I want to try a ortholinear keyboard but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet
I was on the fence with the lack of keys, but with layers 47 is really all you need, IMO! I really like ortho because everything is super close so I can stay planted on my wrist rest and not move around too much. After typing on an ortholinear colemak-dh layout, your hands move a ridiculous amount on a normal qwerty board.
