I have a custom keyboard with a QMK firmware. I enabled something called auto shift. It’s the best. Just hold down the key you want shifted, and it auto shifts. I settled for enabling this for capital letters and symbols. So comfortable not to have to press the shift key.
So you hold down the first letter of each sentence longer so that it capitalizes rather than hold shift? That feels like it would completely mess with my flow when typing. Shift just happens naturally for me and I don’t register I’m pushing it.
Exactly like that, yes. Or 1 for exclamation point, or 2 for @. Just like on a phone keyboard, with tap and hold for symbols and numbers and such.
I’ve had this keyboard for a few months now and I didn’t enable it exactly for the reasons you mention.
I enabled it a few weeks ago now just to try it, and wow, I though I didn’t notice myself pressing the shift key, that it “came naturally”. Boy was I wrong. Now whenever I have to use the shift key it feels so cumbersome lol. Typing has become so comfortable now.

I use a ZSA Voyager for reference.
