+;; Home row mods QWERTY example with more complexity.
+;; Some of the changes from the basic example:
+;; - when a home row mod activates tap, the home row mods are disabled
+;;   while continuing to type rapidly
+;; - tap-hold-release helps make the hold action more responsive
+;; - pressing another key on the same half of the keyboard
+;;   as the home row mod will activate an early tap action
