Even after switching to my hm and ht behaviors I am running into some issues where sometimes I am still accidentally hitting mods(&hm) and layers(&ht) while typing and it's been getting frustrating.  My main issue has been on &ht, they are configured the same so I suspect that my pinkies just move a bit slower over the keys than my pointer/middle finger.

I just added `quick-tap-ms` and `require-prior-idle-ms` to my &hm and &ht behaviors, and a few intentionally sloppy passes through monkeytype seem to show that its working well.  A few days of trying this will tell whether it was a good fix or if I have maybe gone too far the other way.

The end goal here is to be able to roll over keys faster without worrying about hitting other layers or mods.
