Hopefully, the above configuration "just works". If it doesn't, here's a

few smaller (and larger) things to try.

* **Noticeable delay when tapping HRMs:** Increase `global-quick-tap-ms`. As a rule of thumb,
|

you want to set it to at least `10500/x` where `x` is your (relaxed) WPM for English prose.[^4]
|

* **False negatives (same-hand):** Reduce `tapping-term-ms` (or disable
|

`hold-trigger-key-positions`)

* **False negatives (cross-hand):** Reduce `global-quick-tap-ms` (or set flavor
