Home row mods are about placing modifiers on the home row, which allows for quick and easy access to all the modifiers. They are used to improve typing efficiency and reduce strain on the fingers and hand. To use home row mods, you need a QMK-powered mechanical keyboard or use software like KMonad. Make sure to configure the tapping term and other settings to your preference.
